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 previous cruise
control speed that was set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your 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 turns off the
cruise control. Many drivers find this to be
too much trouble and do not use cruise control on
steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to disengage the cruise
control:
• Step lightly on the brake pedal; when cruise
control disengages, the cruise symbol in the
instrument panel cluster goes out.
• Press the on/off button, to turn off the cruise
control system.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased,
when the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
