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 or clutch
pedal takes you out of cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be too much
trouble and don't use cruise control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are several ways to turn off the
cruise control:
Step lightly
on the brake pedal, or
push the clutch pedal, if you have a
manual transaxle; OR
Move the cruise switch to OF".
T u Erase Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or
the ignition, your cruise control set
speed memory is erased.
