Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
To reduce the vehicle speed while using cruise control:
•
Press and hold the SET– button on the steering
wheel until the desired lower speed is reached,
and then release the button.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, press
the SET– button on the steering wheel briefly.
Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) 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
slows down to the cruise control speed that was
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 might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle speed. When
going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep the vehicle speed down. If the brake is
applied the cruise control is disengaged. Many drivers
find this to be too much trouble and do not use cruise
control on steep hills.

•
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
