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
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 four ways to turn off the cruise control:
D Step on the brake pedal.
D Press the cruise control RES ACCL button and the
CST SET buttons at the same time.
D Press the cruise control CANCEL button.
D Press the cruise control ON OFF button. The
indicator light on the cruise control button will
turn off.
Erasing the Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
