discovered cruise control feature

Don't remember seeing this in the book, but was surprised to find it. When you're on cruise, pushing up and down momentarily on this switch increases/decreases speed setting by 1 mph. But pushing it past the click (like you're putting a window down all the way) gives you 5 mph increments.

And if you pull it down and keep holding, it will apply your brakes and brake lights until you let go.

While driving, pull E-Brake & hold it pulled up, car will stop safely as fast as possible without chirping tires, at any speed.

Have you done it? I'm curious but didn't want to experiment with anything too dramatic!

That is why I am telling you & everyone. It is a safety feature in event something happens to driver.

Or the mechanic didn't close the hood all the way and it flipped onto the windshield giving you no forward visibility. Speaking from experience.

Or you can roll down driver side window to stick your head out and continue driving like the Ace Ventura or a black guy.
