Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
To reduce the vehicle’s speed while using cruise
control:
•
Press and hold the SET– button on the steering
wheel until the desired speed is reached, then
release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, press the
SET– button on the steering wheel briefly.
Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the previously set cruise speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle’s 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’s speed.
When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift
to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down.
When the brakes are applied the cruise control turns off.

There are four ways to end cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal
(manual and automatic transmissions).
•
Press the clutch pedal to the floor
(manual transmissions).

Erasing Speed Memory
