yellowblue Using Cruise Control on Hills 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. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gear will take your vehicle out of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise control feature. Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control: Exterior Lamps These switches control these systems: D D D D D D Headlamps Taillamps Parking Lamps License Lamps Sidemarker Lamps Instrument Panel Lights D Step lightly on the brake pedal; or D press the ON/OFF button. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. Headlamps Press the button with the lamp symbol on it to turn on the headlamps. Press it again to turn them off. When the headlamps are turned on, the instrument panel lights as well as the parking lamps will also turn on. Wiper-Activated Headlamps This feature turns on the headlamps and parking lamps when the Twilight SentinelR is in day mode and after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately six seconds. 2-43
