Headlamps - Saab 2005 9-7X Owner's Manual

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 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 do not
use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, do one of the following:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal,
•
move the cruise control switch to off, or
•
shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
•
If your vehicle has the StabiliTrak
control will turn off if road conditions cause
®
StabiliTrak to activate.
•
If the accelerator pedal is held longer than
60 seconds, cruise control will turn off.
The cruise control will turn off automatically if the
traction control system or StabiliTrak
if your vehicle is equipped with either feature.
