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. Applying
the brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you
out of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or
shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill
slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise
control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the
brake pedal, or press the cruise control on/off button
on the steering wheel.
Stepping on the brake or clutch pedal will end the
current cruise control session only. You must press
the cruise control on/off button on the steering wheel
to turn off the system completely.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
