Object Detection Systems; Ultrasonic Parking Assist - Cadillac CTS 2013 Owner's Manual

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works
on hills depends upon the vehicle
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, the vehicle may
automatically shift to a lower gear to
keep the vehicle's speed down. The
vehicle may then shift to a higher
gear when braking assistance is no
longer required. When the brakes
are applied manually the cruise
control is disengaged.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise
control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal
(manual and automatic
transmissions).
Press the clutch pedal to the
floor (manual gearboxes).
Press on the steering wheel.
To turn off the cruise control,
press on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory by pressing
or if the ignition is turned off.
