Cruise control operation
The Cruise Control System (CCS) helps maintain an individually stored constant speed when driving
above about 15 mph (20 km/h).
The CCS slows down the vehicle only by reducing the flow of fuel to the engine, not by braking ⇒ .

WARNING
Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely at a constant speed can be
dangerous and can lead to an accident and serious personal injuries.
x Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic or when you cannot keep
a safe distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.
x Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads (such gravel roads, wet
roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on roads with standing water.
x Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.
x Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and the vehicles ahead
of you to the road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.
x To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control, switch the system off when it is
not being used.
x It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previously set speed is too high for
the existing road, traffic, or weather conditions.
x When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to maintain a constant speed.
The vehicle will speed up because of its own weight. Downshift and/or use the foot brake to
slow the vehicle.
