Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the

vehicle set speed.

NOTE:

The Electronic Speed Control system maintains

speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on

moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so

it may be preferable to drive without Electronic Speed

Control.

WARNING!

Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you
could lose control and have an accident. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
