Overtaking Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the
previously set cruise speed.
While pressing the accelerator pedal
or shortly following the release to
override cruise control, briefly
pressing SET/ will result in cruise
set to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the 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 apply the
accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, you
might have to brake or change to a
lower gear to keep your speed
down. If the brake pedal is applied,
cruise control will disengage.

manner as D (Drive).
When the vehicle is in M (Manual

gear is selected with the manual
paddle shift controls, the vehicle
speed is maintained in the driver
selected gear and will not

control may not be able to

selected by the driver. While

automatic transmission
operation.
