Cruise Control

{

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 cruise control on slippery
roads.

For vehicles with cruise control, a speed of about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be maintained without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control
does not work at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).

When the brakes are applied, cruise control is
turned off.

For vehicles with an Allison

®

or Hydra‐Matic 6‐speed

automatic transmission, see “Grade Braking and Cruise
Grade Braking (Allison Transmission) under Tow/Haul
Mode on page 3‑34
for an explanation of how cruise
control interacts with the Range Selection Mode,
tow/haul and grade braking systems.

For vehicles with the StabiliTrak

®

system that begins to

limit wheel spin while you are using cruise control,
the cruise control will automatically disengage.
See StabiliTrak

®

System on page 5‑6. When road

conditions allow the cruise control to be safely used
again, it can be turned back on.
