Headlamps; Headlamps On Reminder - Chevrolet 2008 Equinox Owner's Manual

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle's speed, load, and the steepness of the hills.
While going up steep hills, you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle's speed. While
going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep the vehicle at a lower speed. However,
when the brakes are applied the cruise control turns off.
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 button on the steering wheel.
J

Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
