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
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
There are four ways to turn off the cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal,
•
Move the cruise control switch to off, or
•
Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
•
Hold the accelerator pedal for 60 seconds
or longer.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, your cruise control set speed memory
is erased.
