To
Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are
two
ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first:
1.
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2.
Press the button at
the
end of the lever, then release the button and
the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s
the
second way to go to a higher speed:
Move
the
cruise switch from
ON
to
R/A.
Hold it there until you get up
to the speed you want, and then release the switch.
To
increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to
R/A.
Each
time
you do this, your vehicle will
go
about
1
mph
(1.6
km/h)
faster.
The accelerate feature
will
only work after
you
have set the cruise control
speed by pressing the SET CRUISE button.
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 Whicle 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.
