To Pass Another Vehicle When
You're in Cruise Control
Just use the accelerator pedal
when you need more speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal,
the vehicle will go back down to
your previously chosen cruise
control speed and stay there.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control system
will work on hills depends on
several factors:
• vehicle speed
• vehicle load
• steepness of the hill
When going up steep hills, you
may need to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your speed.
When going downhill, you may
need to use the brake pedal or shift
to a lower gear to control the
vehicle's speed. Applying the
brakes disengages cruise control.
