Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).

When you apply your brakes, the cruise control
shuts off.

{

CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot 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.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction
Control System (TCS)
on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn
the cruise control back on.
