CHEVROLET 2010 Equinox - Manual (Page 258)

8-44 Driving and Operating
Cruise Control
With cruise control, the vehicle can
maintain a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).
If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control shuts off.
If the vehicle has the StabiliTrak ®
or traction control system and
begins to limit wheel spin while
using cruise control, the cruise
control automatically disengages.
See StabiliTrak System on
page 8‑43 or Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 8‑41. When
road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, the cruise control can
be turned back on.
{
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.
