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 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 ends the cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and do not 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 end cruise control: • Step lightly on the brake pedal. • Press the [ (cancel) button on the steering wheel. It controls the following systems: • Headlamps • Taillamps • Parking Lamps • License Plate Lamps • Instrument Panel Lights • Press the T (on/off) button on the steering wheel. • Fog Lamps (if equipped) Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed memory is erased by turning off the cruise control or the ignition. 158
