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. Press the set button, then release the button
and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at
the higher speed.
•
Press the resume button. Hold it there until you get
up to the speed you want, and then release the
button. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, press the button briefly. Each time you do
this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
•
Press set button until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the set button. Each time you do this, you will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
However, if you use the accelerator pedal to increase
your speed for approximately 60 seconds or longer, your
cruise control will disengage and you will need to
reset your desired speed.
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. Applying the
brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out
of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift
to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill
slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise
control feature.
