Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Move the cruise lever down to SET/CST and hold it
there until you reach a desired lower speed, then
release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, move the
cruise lever to SET/CST briefly. Each time you do
this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
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 brakes
or downshifting into FIRST (1) 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 three ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press the button at the end of the cruise lever.
Pull the cruise lever (CANCEL) toward you.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the cruise control or the ignition.
