Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control

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
Ills,
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.
0
Move the CRUISE switch to
OFF.

off
the cruise control or the ignition,
