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
or downshifting to SECOND (2) or LOW (L) 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 Out of Cruise Control
There are several ways to turn off the cruise control:
D Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch
pedal, if you have a manual transaxle.
D Press the CRUISE ON
-
OFF button again or pull the
lever toward you to cancel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
Headlamps
Turn the outside part of the
lever to control the lamps.

(DRL), are off.
