Cruise Control
The cruise control buttons are located on the
steering wheel.
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h).
The cruise control will turn off when any of the
following occur:
D The brakes are applied,
D the clutch is applied (manual transaxle),
D the parking brake is applied, or
D the brake system warning light is on.
CAUTION:
D Cruise control can be dangerous where
you can’t drive safely at a steady speed.
So, don’t use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
D 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.
Don’t use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the enhanced
traction system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. See “Enhanced
Traction System” in the Index. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise
control back on.
