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.
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
kmh) 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 Out
of
Cruise Control
There are several ways
to
turn
off
the cruise control:
0
Step lightly
on
the brake pedal or push the clutch
pedal,
if
you
have a manual transmission;
OR
0
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.
