Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged:
•
Press and hold the SET− until the desired lower
speed is reached, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly push
the SET−. 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 the vehicle's
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the previously set cruise
control speed.

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 at a lower speed. When the
brakes are applied this ends the cruise control.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to disengage the cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal; when cruise control
disengages, the cruise symbol in the instrument
panel cluster goes out.
I
•
Press the button, to turn off the cruise control
system.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
