Cruise Control
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 help on long trips. Cruise
control does not work at speeds below about 
25 mph (40 km/h).
Cruise control shuts off when you apply the brakes.
CAUTION:
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.
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 traction
control begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. (See “Traction Control
System” in the Index.) When road conditions allow you
to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control
back on.
