Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control

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 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 three ways to turn
off
the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the cruise switch
to
off, or
0
Shift the transmission
to
NEUTRAL (N).
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn
off
the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
