Headlamps - Saab 9-7x Owner's Manual

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle's 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's
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle's speed
down. When the brakes are applied this disengages the
cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much
trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, do one of the following:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal,
•
move the cruise control switch to off, or
•
shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
•
If your vehicle has the StabiliTrak

60 seconds, cruise control will turn off.
The cruise control will turn off automatically if the

put the headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode
will turn the exterior lamps on and off depending upon
how much light is available outside of the vehicle.
