Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while
using cruise control:
Press the SET– button until you reach the
lower desired speed, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET– button briefly. Each time you do this,
the vehicle slows down approximately
1 mph (1.6 km/h).
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to your previous cruise
control speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control works on hills
depends upon the vehicle speed, load, and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills,
you might have to step on the accelerator
pedal to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a
lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down.
Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gear
ends cruise control. If you need to apply the brake
or shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the
downhill slope, you might not want to attempt to
use the cruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the
brake pedal, or press the cancel button on
the steering wheel.
