The cruise control will turn off if any of the following
occur:

The brakes are applied,

the clutch pedal is applied (manual transaxle),

the automatic transaxle is shifted to NEUTRAL (N),

the parking brake is applied, or

the brake system warning light is on.

{

CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can not drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your 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 needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.

Your vehicle may have Enhanced Traction System
(ETS). See Enhanced Traction System (ETS) on
page 4-9
. If your vehicle is in cruise control while the
ETS begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control
will automatically disengage. When road conditions allow
you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise
control back on.
