Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to
go
to a higher speed.
0
Use the accelerator pedal to
go
to a higher speed.
Push the button at the end of the lever, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed. Or,
Move the cruise switch from
ON
to RES/ACC. Hold
it there until you reach a desired speed and then
release the switch. Or, to increase your speed in very
small amounts, move the switch to RES/ACC for
less than half a second and then release
it.
Each time
you do this, your vehicle will
go
about
1
mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.
The
accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pushing the SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the button at the end
of
the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed 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
1
mph
(1.6
km/h) 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 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.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly
on
the brake pedal, or
Move the cruise switch to
OFF.
The CRUISE light
will also
go
out.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn
off
the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
