PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on
the accelerator pedal.
USING CRUISE CONTROL
WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control in
heavy traffic, on winding roads
or when the road surface is slippery.
This could result in loss of vehicle
control, serious injury or death.
When you are going downhill,
your vehicle speed may increase
above the set speed. The system will
not apply the brakes. Change down a
gear to assist the system in
maintaining the set speed. Failure to
do so could result in loss of vehicle
control, serious injury or death.
Note:
Cruise control will disengage if
the vehicle speed decreases more than
10 mph (16 km/h) below your set
speed while driving uphill.
