Where did you read that? Makes me wonder if the context is lost or if the person who wrote it has any idea what they're referring to?
Don't use Cruise Control when raining, snowing or ice on the road. An engine brake is similar to gearing down your tow vehicle and that is something you always want to be doing in the mountains. You just don't want to be at a high rate of speed and then drop down two gears while on snow/ice or even rain as that can cause loss of traction. Everything in moderation when driving with questionable road conditions.
“WARNING
Do not use the tow/haul or engine brake features when driving in icy or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause the rear wheels to slide and your vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle control.”
