Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
•
Use the accelerator pedal to get to a higher speed.
Press the SET button, then release the button and
the accelerator pedal. The vehicle now cruises
at the higher speed.
•
Press the RESUME button. Hold it there until the
desired speed is reached, and then release the
button. To increase the vehicle speed in very small
amounts, briefly press the RESUME button and
then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle
goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after the cruise
control is turned on by pressing the SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce the vehicle speed while
using cruise control:
•
Press the SET button until the desired lower speed
is reached, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the SET button. Each time this is done, the vehicle
goes 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
slows down to the cruise control speed set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed
down. Applying the brake pedal turns off the 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, or press the clutch
pedal, if the vehicle has a manual transmission.
•
Press the ON/OFF button on the cruise control pad.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory can be erased by
turning off the cruise control or the ignition.
