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 in 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
RfA
briefly
and then release it. Each time
you
do
this,
your
vehicle
will
go
about
1
mph
(1.6
km/h)
faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pushing the
SET
button.

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
0
Push
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, push the
button briefly. Each time you do
this,
you’ll
go
1
mph
(1.6
kmk)
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 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.
