Only on the freeway..local hiways with short stretches and hills make it work the throttle more than it would normally with a person in control.
To use the cruise control on the PT Cruiser, turn the cruise control on in the steering wheel. Accelerate to the desired speed and push in the end of the left turn signal knob. The cruise control should then control the speed. To take the car out of cruise control, a person can tap the brake.
You DON'T use cruise control in slippery roads.
Many people enjoy cruise ships. I like to drive using cruise control.
You use the stick. It has buttons saying cruise on/off use it.
No , absolutely not ( if you hit a puddle , which will slow the car down , the cruise control willtry to accelerate the car to maintain the set speed )It's not recommended to use the cruise control in the rain. Normally, you use the cruise control on the highways. When it's raining you need complete control on the car and be fully alert.( NO ) if you hit a puddle that slows the car down then the cruise control will accelerate the carbetter not it could cause the car to accelerate at the wrong time and cause loss of control
Likely, an expressway is the only place one could use cruise control. The minimum speed to use cruise control is at least 45 mph and many roads don't allow that speed. Also, the expressway gets rid of constant stops that make it annoying to use the cruise control. Basically, if you aren't stuck in traffic, cruise control is the way to go.
When you use cruise control it does all it can to keep you going at the speed you set it at. That means if you are going up a steep hill it will hit the gas to try to maintain your speed. When going up hills if you slow down just a few miles an hour you can save more fuel. Hard acceleration greatly reduces your fuel mileage. Many cruise controls will accelerate very hard when your car slows down.
yes
No, cruise control is not advised nor recommended on slippery roads. You need to maintain control at all times in conditions like these.
Reduces fatigue and can improve fuel economy.
Make sure you have the main cruise control button depressed. You will then see a display light indiciating "Cruise Control". After that, just use the normal buttons to set, accelerate, and coast. BEWARE, though. The cruise control button for our 2004 Accord stopped letting me keep it in the depressed position, and I can't keep my cruise control on now. Will let you know once the mechanic takes a look at it.
