Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged:
.
Push and hold the SET until the desired lower
speed is reached, then release it.
.
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly push
the SET. 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's
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the previously set cruise control
speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle's speed, load, and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you might have to step on
the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle's speed.
When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift
to a lower gear to keep the vehicle at a lower speed.
When the brakes are applied this ends the cruise
control.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to disengage the cruise control:
.
Step lightly on the brake pedal to disengage the
cruise control.
.
Press the on/off button, to turn off the cruise
control.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition are turned off.
