Chrysler 2008 300 - Manual (Page 151)

Tapping (“RESUME ACCEL”) once will result in a 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped,
speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will
increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while speed control is set, push down
and hold the lever (“SET DECEL”). Release the lever
when the desired speed is reached, and a new set speed
will be established.
Tapping (“SET DECEL”) once will result in a 1 mph (1.6
km/h) speed decrease. Each time the lever is tapped,
speed decreases.
To Accelerate For Passing:
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
The automatic transmission will downshift while climb-
ing uphill or descending downhill. This downshift is
necessary to maintain vehicle set speed.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without speed control.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the system can’t
maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast
for the conditions, and you could lose control. An
accident could be the result. Don’t use Speed Control in
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-
covered, or slippery.
