Cruise Control

wv dm 05.05.001

Warning: Do not use the cruise control system when driving conditions do not permit maintaining a constant speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or roads with a loose driving surface. Failure to follow this precaution could cause a collision or loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in personal injury or property damage.

Note: Maximum cruise control speed varies according to vehicle specifications, but cannot exceed 75 mph (121 km/h).

Cruise control allows the driver to automatically control the speed of the vehicle above 32 mph (51 km/h). The buttons that operate the cruise control system are located on the right-hand switch pod of the steering wheel. See Fig..
