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).

On vehicles with the Traction
Control System (TCS) or the
StabiliTrak

®

system, it may begin to

limit wheel spin while you are using
cruise control. If this happens, the
cruise control will automatically
disengage. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 9‑36
or
StabiliTrak

®

System on page 9‑37.
