To
Reduce Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways
to
reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
1.
Push in the
SET
button at the end
of
the lever
until
you reach the lower speed
you
want, then release it.
2.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this,
you’ll
go 1 mph
(1.6
km/h) slower. If you tap
SET
five times,
you
will
go
5
mph slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down
to
the cruise control speed
you
set earlier.
Using
Cruise Control on Hills
How
well your cruise control will work
on
hills depends
upon your speed, load, and the steepness
of
the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to
keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake
takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.
To
Get Out
of
Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off
the
cruise control:
1.
Step lightly on the brake pedal, or
2.
Move the cruise switch
to
OFF.
To
Erase Speed Memory
When you
turn
off
the
cruise control
or
the ignition,
your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
