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, you might have to brake or
shift to a lower gear to keep your
speed down.
If a lower gear is being used while
going downhill, this causes the
vehicle to have improved control of
vehicle speed by using a
combination of engine and
Driving and Operating
regenerative braking depending on
vehicle conditions. At times you
might have to apply the brakes to
keep your speed down. If the brake
pedal is applied, cruise control will
disengage.

control:

control system off completely.
