Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
To reduce your speed while using cruise control:
•
Press and hold the SET– button on the
steering wheel until the desired lower speed
is reached, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, press
the SET– button on the steering wheel
briefly. Each time you do this, the vehicle
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, your
vehicle will slow down to the previous set
cruise speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills
depends upon your speed, load, and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills,
you may have to step on the accelerator pedal
to maintain the vehicle's speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a
lower gear to keep the vehicle's speed down.
Of course, applying the brake takes you out
of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be
too much trouble and do not use cruise control
on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
•
Press the cancel button on the steering wheel.
•
Press the On/Off button on the steering
wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
