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 want 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 four ways
to
turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal,
move the cruise control switch
to
off, or
shift the transmission
to
NEUTRAL
(N).
If your vehicle has the Stabilitrak@ feature, cruise
control will deactivate
if
road conditions cause
Stabilitrak@
to
activate.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn
off
the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior
Lamps
The control on the driver’s side of your instrument panel
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp control has four positions:
AUTO:
Turn the control to this position
to
put the
system into automatic headlamp mode. The Daytime
Running Lamps
(DRL)
will also be activated
if
it is light
enough outside.
A
light near the symbol will be lit
when in this mode.
