To
Reduce Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press
in
the 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, press 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 depenas
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.
To
Get
Out
of
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.
The
CRUISE
light
will go out.
