Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will
work on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load, and the
steepness of the hills. While going
up steep hills, you might have
to step on the accelerator pedal to
maintain the vehicle’s speed.
While going downhill, you might
have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to keep the vehicle’s speed down.
Of course, applying the brake
turns off the cruise control.
Ending Cruise Control
There are several ways to end
cruise control:
• Step lightly on the brake or
clutch pedal.
• The automatic transmission is
placed in N (Neutral).
• Press the 9 button.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory
is erased when the cruise control or
