WARNING
Improper operation of cruise control could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. Follow all cruise operation procedures carefully. Never use cruise control when roads are wet or slippery. Do not use cruise control when driving in heavy or congested traffic.

Cruise Control Tips

  • Cruise control can be set in gears 3-5 (For AutoDrive vehicles, cruise control will continue to be enabled while in manual mode even if gear changes are made, as long as the gear changes remain in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear range).
  • Vehicle speed must be above 30 MPH (48 km/h).
  • Set speed will vary slightly in hilly terrain.
  • The cruise control will not resume a pre-set speed if the resulting acceleration or deceleration rate is too high or too low. For example, resuming a set speed from 30 MPH (48 km/h) while in 5th gear may cause cruise to disengage.
  • Cruise control may not engage if brake lights are not operating properly.
  • Cruise control will be disabled if there is an active stability or traction control event.
  • Cruise control will be disabled if there are multiple wheel speed sensor faults or a communication error with the electronic stability module.
