T
(Set/Decrease): Press this button to set the
speed or to decrease the speed when cruise is
already active.
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 about
25 mph (40 km/h).
If you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut 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 traction control
system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control System
(TCS) (CTS) on page 4-8 or Traction Control System
(TCS) (CTS-V) on page 4-10 and Stabilitrak
®
System on
page 4-11. When road conditions allow you to safely use
it again, you may turn the cruise control back on.
