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 you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, press
the SET– button on the steering wheel
briefly. Each time this is done, you will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase vehicle
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the cruise speed you
set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills
depends upon the vehicle speed, load and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills,
you may have to step on the accelerator pedal
to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you
may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to
keep your speed down. Of course, applying the
brake ends the 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.
T
•
Press the (on/off) button on the
steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory

turning off the cruise control or the ignition.
