cruise is no longer engaged. Once
the vehicle speed reaches about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more, press
the thumbwheel up toward RES/+
briefly on the steering wheel. The
vehicle returns to the previous set
speed and stays there.

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 speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to maintain
the vehicle speed. When the brakes
are applied the cruise control is
disengaged.
