Accelerating With the Speed Control Operating
To pass another vehicle while the speed control is activated,
press the accelerator pedal. When you release the pedal, the
vehicle will return to the previously set speed.
Driving Uphill or on a Steep Grade
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or
down steep hills. If this happens, drive without the speed
control.
When driving uphill, especially with a heavy load, you may
notice your speed decreasing, even if you have the speed
control set. If the speed drops more than 8 mph (13 km/h), it is
normal for the automatic speed control feature to be cancelled.
You may need to help your vehicle maintain the selected speed
by driving without the speed control when driving up steep
grades.
Cancelling the Speed Control
To cancel the preset speed, follow one of these three methods:
Push the CANCEL button on the left side of the steering
wheel; the CRUISE light will go out.
Tap the brake pedal; the CRUISE light will go out.
Press the main OFF switch to the left of the steering wheel.
Both the CRUISE CONT. ON switch indicator and the
CRUISE light in the instrument cluster will go out.
If you unintentionally press the brake pedal while pushing the
RESUME/ACCEL button to reset the cruising speed, press the
OFF switch once and then reactivate the system by pressing the
CRUISE CONT. ON switch.
The speed control will automatically be canceled if the vehicle
slows down below approximately 8 mph (13 km/h).
