2. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the switch to "R/A" for less than half a second and
then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle
will go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. If you tap "R/A"
five times, you will go 5 mph faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the Cruise Control speed by pushing the SET button.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the SET button
at the end of the lever
until you reach the
lower speed you want,
then release
it.
2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. If you tap
SET five times, you will go 5 mph slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the Cruise Control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
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.
