Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go
to
a higher speed.
0
Use the accelerator pedal to get
to
the higher speed.
Push the button at the end of the lever,
then
release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from
ON
to
R/A.
Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch. To increase your speed
in
very small amounts, move the switch to
R/A
for
less than half a second and then release it. Each
time you do this, your vehicle will
go
about
1
mph
(1.6
km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pushing the
SET
button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
0
Push in the button at
the
end
of
the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release
it.
0
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.
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.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal; or
Move
the
cruise switch to
OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
