Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
•
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Push in the SET button, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
will now cruise at the higher speed.
•
Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there
until you accelerate to the desired speed, and then
release the switch. To increase the vehicle’s speed in
very small amounts, move the switch to R/A briefly
and then release it. Each time this is done, the
vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after the cruise
control speed is set, by pushing the SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce the vehicle’s speed while
using cruise control:
•
Push in the SET button until the vehicle slows down
to the desired speed, then release it.
•
To slow the vehicle down in very small amounts,
push the SET button briefly. Each time this is done,
the vehicle will go 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 will slow down to the cruise control speed you
set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills depends
upon the speed and load of the vehicle, and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you
may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, you may have to
brake or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed
down. Of course, applying the brake takes the vehicle out
of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much
trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
•
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
•
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When the cruise control or the ignition is turned off, or
the vehicle is shifted into PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N),
the cruise control set speed memory is erased.
