Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce speed while using cruise
control:
Push in the SET button at the end
of
the lever
until you reach the lower speed you want, then
release it.
*
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET button briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll
go about
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.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly
on
the brake pedal, 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.
