need to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you __
can move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate)
for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.

speed by pushing the SET

speed you want, then release it.

a second. Each time you do this, you’ll

foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed
you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
c-
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.
