Using Electronic Cruise Control
on Hillsides
The transmission may be downshifted
on hills to maintain the vehicle set
speed.
The electronic Cruise Control system
maintains set speed up and down hills.
A slight speed change on moderate
hills is normal. On steep slopes, a
greater speed loss or gain may occur so
we recommend to drive without
electronic Cruise Control.
WARNING!
Electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your
vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use
electronic Cruise Control in heavy
traffic or on winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery roads.
