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. Applying the brake or
shifting into a lower gear will take you out of cruise
control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to a lower
gear due to the grade of the downhill slope, you may
not want to attempt to use your cruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the
brake pedal. If your vehicle has a manual transmission,
lightly tapping the clutch will end a cruise control
session also.
Stepping on the brake or clutch pedal will end the
current cruise control session only. Move the cruise
control switch to off to turn off the system completely.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
