Reducing
Speed
While
Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push
in the button at the end
of
the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed, then release
it.
A
CRUISE ENGAGED message will then display.
To slow down in very small amounts, push 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 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
end cruise control:
0
Step lightly
on
the
brake pedal.
Move the
CRUISE
switch to
OFF.
Erasing Speed
Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn
off
the cruise control or the ignition.
