Specifications

Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
• Push and hold the SET− part of the button
until you reach the lower speed desired,
then release it.
• To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET− part of the button briefly. Each time this
is done, your vehicle will go about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) 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 the vehicle speed, load, and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills,
you might have to step on the accelerator pedal
to maintain the vehicle speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a
lower gear to keep the vehicle speed down.
Of course, applying the brake turns off the cruise
control. Many drivers find this to be too much
trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
To end cruise control, step lightly on the brake
pedal or the clutch pedal if your vehicle has
a manual transmission.
Stepping on the brake pedal or clutch pedal will
only end the current cruise control session. Press
the cruise control on/off button to turn the
system completely off.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, the cruise control set speed memory is
erased.
