Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce the vehicle’s speed while
using cruise control:
Push the cruise control lever downward toward the
minus (set/coast/decelerate) position until a lower
speed is reached, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
cruise control lever downward toward the minus
(set/coast/decelerate) position brie y. Each time this
is done, the vehicle will slow down approximately
one mph (1.6 km/h).
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed set
earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills depends
upon the vehicle’s speed, its load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills, the accelerator pedal
might have to be used in order to maintain the vehicle’s
speed. When going downhill, the brakes might have to be
applied, or the transaxle might have to be shifted to a
lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down. Doing
either of these things will take the vehicle out of cruise. It
may be better not to use the cruise control if the brakes
constantly have to be applied, or the vehicle continuously
needs to be shifted to a lower gear.
Cancelling Cruise Control
To cancel a cruise control session, pull the cruise
control lever forward, or step lightly on the brake pedal.
Doing either of these things will only end the current
cruise control session, but the set speed will be retained
in memory.
Push the button at the end of the cruise control lever to
turn the system off.
Erasing Speed Memory
When the cruise control or the ignition is turned off, the
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
