Driving Up Or Down Hills - Jeep 2004 Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

88 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
Leaving the Speed Control ON when not in use is
dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or
cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always leave the
system OFF when you aren't using it.

Driving Up or Down Hills

When going up or down hills, it is possible for your
vehicle to lose or gain speed, even though the Speed
Control is engaged. If going down a hill steep enough to
cause the vehicle to gain speed, press the brake pedal,
which will disengage the Speed Control and help slow
your vehicle.
WARNING!
To help keep your vehicle under control, do not use
Speed Control under these conditions:
• When it is not possible to keep your vehicle at a set
speed.
• On slippery roads, such as on snow or ice.
• In heavy or varying traffic volume, in traffic that varies
in speed, or on winding roads.
• Be sure to turn the Speed Control switch to the OFF
position when not in use to avoid accidental engage-
ment.
