9-44 Driving and Operating
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is
already engaged,
.
Move the thumbwheel toward
−SET and hold until the desired
lower speed is reached, then
release it.
.
To slow down in very small
amounts, move the thumbwheel
toward −SET briefly. Each time
this is done, the vehicle goes
about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) 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
previously set cruise control speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works
on hills depends upon the vehicle's
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 maintain the
vehicle's speed. For some vehicles
the transmission may automatically
downshift when going down hills to
help maintain the vehicle's speed.
When the brakes are applied the
cruise control shuts off.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to disengage
the cruise control:
.
Step lightly on the brake pedal;
when cruise control disengages,
the indicator light on the
instrument panel cluster
goes out.
.
Press E to turn off the cruise
control system.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed
memory is erased when the cruise
control or the ignition is turned off.
