Passing Another Vehicle
While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle speed. When
the accelerator pedal is released,
the vehicle will return to the
previously set cruise speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work
on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. While going up steep hills,
you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle’s speed. While going
downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the
vehicle’s speed down. Of course,
applying the brake turns off the
cruise control.
Ending Cruise Control
There are several ways to end
cruise control:
• Step lightly on the brake or
clutch pedal.
• The automatic transmission is
placed in NEUTRAL (N).
• Press the 9 button.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed
memory is erased when the cruise
control or the ignition is turned off.
