Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon vour speed,
load and the steepness of the hills. When going up stecp hills,iou 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.
