Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
ma
intain the vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up
an
d down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. On steep hills, a
greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may
be preferable to drive without Cruise Control.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the condi
-
tions, and you could lose control and have an
ac
cident. Do not use Cruise Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could acciden-
tally set the system or cause it to go faster
t
h
an you want. You could lose control and
have an accident. Always ensure the system
is off when you are not using it.
