or more can be maintained without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work
at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).

limit wheel spin, cruise control will automatically
disengage. See StabiliTrak
®
System on page 5-6. When
road conditions allow the cruise control to be safely
used again, it can be turned back on.
