Overview

The cruise control system is controlled by the PCM.

The cruise control mode is selected with the cruise control switches integrated into the steering wheel. Refer to the Owner's Literature for additional information.

The cruise control system maintains the selected vehicle speed within 32 km/h or 30 km/h and the maximum restricted vehicle speed. When the MyKey® restricted key is used and the maximum speed limiter is enabled, the vehicle speed is limited to 129 km/h.

During normal driving, the vehicle speed may vary slightly from the set speed due to road conditions. The vehicle speed may fluctuate when driving up and down a steep grade. If the vehicle speed drops more than 16 km/h below the set speed, cruise control disengages.
