Cruise control allows a speed of approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more to be maintained without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful
on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and either the
Traction Control System (TCS) or the Enhanced
Traction System (ETS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-9 and Enhanced
Traction System (ETS) on page 4-10. When road
conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again.
