Constant Speed Cruise Control System
Cruise control can be dangerous where you can not
drive safely at a steady speed. Therefore, do not use the
cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. It is
also dangerous to use the cruise control system while
driving on a slippery road. On such roads, fast changes
in tyre traction can cause excessive wheel spin, and you
could lose control. Do not use the cruise control on a
slippery road.
Your vehicle may be equipped with the constant speed cruise control
system. With the cruise control, you can maintain the vehicle speed at
40km/h or above without keeping depressing the accelerator pedal. The
constant speed cruise control system does not work when the vehicle
speed is less than 40km/h.
For safety's sake, when the vehicle is started, the constant speed cruise
control system can only be enabled after valid brake signal is detected.
For vehicles with the traction control system or electronic stability
control system, the system starts to limit wheel spinning when the
constant speed cruise control system is working. In case of this situation,
the cruise control will be automatically disabled.
