GMC 2008 Canyon - Manual (Page 145)

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. When going up steep hills, you might want to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle speed.
When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to
a lower gear to keep the vehicle speed down. Of course,
applying the brake turns off the cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and do not use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, do one of the following:
• Step lightly on the brake pedal.
• Move the cruise control lever to off.
• Lightly tap or press the clutch, if you have a manual
transmission.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
the cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The control on the driver’s side of the instrument panel
operates the exterior lamps.
