Indicator lights  
Cruise control operation  
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Cruise Control System.  
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.  
ꢀ
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.  
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.  
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.  
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.  
To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control, switch the system off when it is  
not being used.  
It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previously set speed is too high for  
the existing road, traffic, or weather conditions.  
When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to maintain a constant speed.
