To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed
while using cruise control:
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.
