Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways
to
go to a higher speed:
e
e
Use the accelerator pedal
to
get to the higher
speed. Press the SET/CST button, then release the
button and the accelerator pedal. You will now
cruise at the higher speed.
Press the RES/ACC button. Hold it there until you get
up to the speed that you want, and then release the
button. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, briefly press the RES/ACC button and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will
speed up approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pressing the SET/CST button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press the SET/CST button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET/CST button briefly. Each time you do this,
the vehicle will
slow
down approximately
1
mph (1.6 km/h).
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. Applying the
brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out
of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift
to
a lower gear due
to
the grade of the downhill
slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise
control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brake
pedal, or press the CRUISE
ON/OFF button on the
steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn
off
the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
