Never use the cruise control feature…?
- On winding roads
- All answers are correct ✓
- On wet, slippery, snowy or icy surfaces
- In urban traffic
Answer: B. All answers are correct
Never use cruise control on winding roads, in urban traffic, or on wet, slippery, snowy, or icy surfaces, so the correct choice is that all answers are correct.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says cruise control should be used only in ideal highway driving conditions. It then lists times not to use it, and that list includes winding roads, urban traffic, and wet, slippery, snowy or icy surfaces. Because each of the other choices appears in that list, the answer saying all answers are correct is the right one. The emergency chapter repeats the warning for wet or slippery conditions.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. On winding roads — Winding roads are one of the handbook's no-cruise situations, but this choice leaves out the other listed situations, so it is not the complete answer.
- C. On wet, slippery, snowy or icy surfaces — Wet, slippery, snowy or icy surfaces are one listed no-cruise condition, but this choice alone does not cover winding roads or urban traffic.
- D. In urban traffic — Urban traffic is one listed no-cruise situation, but this choice alone omits the other conditions named in the handbook.
Remember it
Think of cruise control as for steady highway driving only; if the road curves, traffic is busy, or the surface is slick, do not set it.
