Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
To reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Press and hold the SET– button on the steering
wheel until the desired lower speed is reached,
then release it.
To slow down in small amounts, press the
SET– button on the steering wheel briefly. Each
time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will
slow down to the previous set cruise speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills depends
upon the vehicles speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to
step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s
speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed
down. When the brakes are applied the cruise control
shuts off.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press [ on the steering wheel.
Press T on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
