Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle's speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier. Headlamps 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 might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle's speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle's speed down. Applying the brake will turn off the cruise control. The lever on the left side of the steering column operates the exterior lamps. The exterior lamp switch has the following four positions: Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to end cruise control: • Step lightly on the brake pedal or the clutch pedal if • the vehicle has a manual transmission. This will only end the current cruise control session. Press J to turn the system completely off. 2 (Headlamps): Turns on the headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps. ; (Parking Lamps): taillamps only.
