Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle
slows down to your previous cruise control speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control works on hills depends
upon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have
to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, you might
have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep the
vehicle’s speed down. Applying the brake or shifting
into a lower gear ends cruise control. If you need to
apply the brake or shift to a lower gear due to the
grade of the downhill slope, you might not want to
attempt to use the cruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on
the brake pedal, or press the cancel button on
the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, your cruise control set speed memory
is erased.
