Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
To reduce your speed while using cruise control:

steering wheel until you reach the lower speed
desired, then release it.

briefly. Each time this is done, the vehicle will
go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase vehicle
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal,
your vehicle will slow down to the previously set
cruise speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work 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 the vehicle speed down.
Of course, applying the brake turns off 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
