Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while
using cruise control:
•
Press the SET button until you reach the
lower speed you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly
press the SET button. Each time you do this,
you will go 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 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
pedal takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers
find this to be too much trouble and do not use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal, or press
the clutch pedal, if you have a manual
transaxle.
•
Press the ON OFF button on the cruise
control pad.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
