to
get to the higher
speed. Press the button at the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
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
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.
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.
