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 a steep hill, 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 or clutch pedal 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 several ways to turn off the cruise control:
step lightly on the brake pedal, or push the
clutch pedal if you have a manual transaxle, or
move the cruise switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamp band on the turn signal/multifunction
lever controls the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp band has three positions:
OFF: Turning the band to this position turns off all
lamps, except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
