To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
A-
I
PO398
1. Push in the button at the end
of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this, you'll go
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 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
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 takes you out
of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
