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
want 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.
