To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: Using Cruise Control on Hills 1. Push in the SET button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. 2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half a second.Each time you do this, you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. If you tap SET five times, you will go 5 mph slower. 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, applyingthe brake takes you out of cruise control.Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise controlon steep hills. To Get Out of Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control: 1. Step lightly on the brake pedal, or 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 controlspeed you set earlier. 2. Move the cruise switch to OFF.
