Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways
to
go to a higher speed:
0
Use the accelerator pedal
to
get to the higher speed.
Push the SET button at the end of the lever, then
release
the
button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll
now cruise at the higher speed.
0
Move the cruise control switch from
ON
to
R/A.
Hold
it
there until
YOLI
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
for
less than half a second. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
I
mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push
in
the SET button at the end
of
the lever
until
YOLI
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
0
To
slow down
in
very small amounts, push the
button for less than half
a
second. Each time you do
this, you’ll
go
I
mph
(1.6
kndh) 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
YOLIP
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.
If
the
steepness of the
hill
causes the vehicle speed to drop
more than
15
mph
(24
km/h) below the set speed, your
cruise control
will
automatically disengage. 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.
