Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed then release it.
To
slow down in very small amounts, push the
button briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll go
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.
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. 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.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal,
or
Move the cruise switch to
OFF.
The CRUISE light
will also go out.
Erasing Speed Memory
When
you
turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make
it
easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day.
DRL
can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
