Comfort and Convenience Features

147Comfort and Convenience Features
Cruise control allows you to
maintain a set speed above 25
mph (40 km/h) without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal.
It should be used for cruising on
straight open highways. It is not
recommended for conditions such
as city driving, winding roads,
slippery roads, heavy rain, or bad
weather. You should have full
control of the vehicle under those
conditions.
Improper use of the cruise
control can lead to a crash.
Use the cruise control only
when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
