Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the
first:
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.
Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed:
Move the cruise switch 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.

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 ths to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.
