Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are
two
ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the lever to SET/COAST and hold it for less than
a second. Release the lever and the accelerator
pedal.
You'll now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise lever from ON to RES/ACC.
Hold it there until you get up to the speed you
want, and then release the lever. To increase your
speed in very small amounts, move the lever to
RES/ACC for less than half a second and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will
go about 1 mph (1.6
km/h)
faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control

cruise control:
0
Push the lever to SET/COAST until you reach the
lower speed you want, then release it.
0

for less than half a second. Each time you do this,
you'll go 1 mph (1.6 h / 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.
Ending Out of Cruise Control
There are several ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch
Press the cruise ON-OFF button again or pull the
pedal, if you have a manual transaxle.
