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 want 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 three ways to turn off the cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
•
Move the cruise control switch to off.
•
If your vehicle has the Stabilitrak
®
feature, cruise
control will deactivate if road conditions cause
Stabilitrak
®
to activate.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The control on the driver’s
side of your instrument
panel operates the
exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp control has four positions:
Ø (Defeat): Turn the control to this position to turn off
the DRL.
i
(Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)): Turning the
control to this position selects the DRL. When the
vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P), the instrument panel
lamps will illuminate and the DRL will turn on, unless
defeated. When the DRL are active, the DRL indicator
will illuminate.
