CRUISE CONTROL

With cruise control, you can main-
tain a speed of about 40 km/h or
more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator pedal.

The control buttons are located on
the steering wheel.

When the cruise control is set, the
Cruise Control Light on the instru-
ment cluster will come on.

If your vehicle is in cruise control
when the traction control system
begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically
disengage.

See the following for more
information:

• Stabilitrak

System

Once conditions are back to
normal, you may turn the cruise
control back on.

CAUTION

It is dangerous to use cruise
control in heavy traffic, or on
slippery or winding roads.

Cruise control will not work if the
parking brake is set or if the master
cylinder brake fluid level is low.

To Set Your Cruise Control

1. Press the cruise control

button.

2. Accelerate to the speed you

want.
