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. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise control on steep hills. Exterior Lamps The exterior lamps control is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. Ending Cruise Control There are three ways to cancel the cruise control: • Step lightly on the brake pedal. • Slide the lever on the multifunction lever to the left to the OFF position. It controls the following systems: • Press the COAST and ACCEL buttons at the same time. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
