To
Reduce Speed While
Using
Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
1.
Push
in
the button at the
end
of
the lever
until
you reach the lower
speed you want, then
release
it.
2.
To
slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. 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 brake takes you out of Cruise Control.
Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t
use Cruise Control on steep hills.
