Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake or clutch pedal takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise control on steep hills. EndiKJ CrhaiSe CQnarQl There are several ways to turn off the cruise control: Step lightly on the brake pedal, or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual transaxle, or move the cruise switch to OFF. To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press the button. Each time you do this, you'll go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. 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 control speed you set earlier. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
