Cruise Control

When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
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 want to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going

to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the
brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find
this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise
control on steep hills.
