Cruise Control
{
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
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 excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
With cruise control, a speed of
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can
be maintained without keeping your
foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control disengages.
For an explanation of how cruise
control interacts with the Range
Selection Mode, Tow/Haul Mode,
and Grade Braking systems. See
“Grade Braking” under Tow/Haul
Mode 0 259.
If the vehicle has StabiliTrak and the
system begins to limit wheel spin,
cruise control will automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 267.
If a collision alert occurs when
cruise control is activated, cruise
control is disengaged. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 283.
When road conditions allow the
cruise control to be safely used
again, it can be turned back on.
5 (On/Off) : Press to turn the
system on or off. A white indicator
comes on in the instrument cluster
when cruise is turned on.
SET− (Set/Coast) : Press briefly to
set the speed and activate cruise
control. If cruise control is already
active, use to decrease vehicle
speed.
+RES (Resume/Accelerate) : If
there is a set speed in memory,
press to resume that speed or press
and hold to accelerate. If cruise
control is already active, use to
increase vehicle speed.
* (Cancel) : Press to disengage
cruise control without erasing the
set speed from memory.
Setting Cruise Control
If
5 is on when not in use, the SET
− or +RES control could get pressed
and go into cruise when not desired.
Keep the cruise
5 button off when
cruise is not being used.
