Move the cruise switch to R/A. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want, then release the
switch. (To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to R/A briefly, then
release it. Each time you do this, the vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
the cruise set speed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the SET button at the end of the lever until
you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
the cruise set speed.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
the cruise set speed.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase speed. When you
take your foot off the pedal, the 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 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 push the clutch
pedal, if you have a manual transmission vehicle, or
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
the message “CRUISE DISENGAGED.”
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
