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 suspends cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use
cruise control on steep hills.
Suspending Cruise Control
There are two ways to suspend cruise control:
• Step lightly on the brake pedal, or push the clutch
pedal if you have a manual transmission.
• Push in the CANCEL button on the end of the
cruise control lever.
Ending Cruise Control
To end cruise control press CRUISE ON/OFF on the
instrument panel.
Erasing Speed Memory
Cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the CRUISE ON/OFF switch or anytime you turn
the ignition off.
