Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is
already activated:
Press the thumbwheel toward
SET/ and hold until the desired
lower speed is reached, then
release it.
To slow down in small amounts,
press the thumbwheel toward
SET/ briefly. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about
1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the
previous 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 speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake or
shift to a lower gear to maintain the
vehicle speed. When the brakes are
applied the cruise control is
disengaged.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end the
cruise control:
To disengage cruise control,
step lightly on the brake pedal or
clutch. The indicator light on the
instrument panel cluster
goes out.
Press on the steering wheel.
To turn off cruise control, press
on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory if
or if the vehicle is turned off.

speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensors on the rear bumper
detect objects up to 2.5 m (8 ft)
behind the vehicle, and at least
20 cm (8 in) off the ground.
The URPA system does not
detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or any other objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
