WARNING
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. So, do not use
the cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use

limit wheel spin while the cruise
control is on, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See

allow you to safely use it again, the
cruise control can be turned
back on.
