Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use

begin to limit wheel spin while you
are using cruise control. If this
happens, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See

occurs when cruise control is
activated, cruise control is
disengaged. See Forward Collision

road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, cruise control can be
turned back on.
If the brakes are applied, cruise
control disengages.
