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.
Press the button at the end
of
the lever,
then
release
the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll
now
cruise at
the
higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from
ON
to
WA.
Hold it
there until you get up
to
the
speed you want, and
then release the switch.
(To
increase your speed
in
very small amounts, move the switch
to
R/A
for less
than a
1/2
second. Each time
you
do this, your
vehicle will go about
1
mph
(1.6
kmh) faster.)
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want,
then
release
it.
To
slow down in very small amounts, press the
button for less than- a
1/2
second. Each time
you
do
this,
you’ll
go
1
mph
(1.6
kmh)
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.
If
the steepness
of the
hill
causes the vehicle speed
to
drop more than
15
mph
(24
kmh) below the
set
speed, your cruise control
will automatically disengage. 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 Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn
off
the cruise control:
Step lightly
on
the brake pedal: or
Move the cruise switch to
OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory
is
erased.
