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.
Getting Out
of
Cruise Control
There are three ways to turn off cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal, or push the clutch
pedal if you have a manual transmission.
Push
in the CANCEL button on the end of the
cruise control lever.
Press the
CRUISE
CTlU switch on the
instrument panel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn
off
the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory
is
