76 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To decrease speed while speed control is Engaged, press and hold the COAST button. Releasing the button when the desired speed is reached, will establish a new SET speed. Tapping the COAST button once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) decrease in the SET speed. Each time the button is tapped, the SET speed decreases. For example, tapping the button three times will decrease speed by 3 mph (5 km/h). To Accelerate For Passing: NOTE: If the set speed is exceeded by 20 mph (32 km/h) or more during the acceleration, the set speed will have to manually re-engaged. Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the SET speed. Using Speed Control On Hills Vehicles with automatic transmissions are equipped with Interactive Speed Control. This feature operates when travelling up or down hills with the Speed Control engaged and the driver's foot off of the accelerator. When Climbing A Hill If vehicle speed drops 3 mph (5 km/h) below the Speed Control set speed, the transaxle will downshift to third gear. Under severe conditions the transaxle may downshift again to second gear. The transaxle will upshift to fourth gear after the vehicle has reached the top of the hill. When Descending A Hill If vehicle speed rises 3 mph (5 km/h) over the Speed Control set speed, the transaxle will downshift to third gear. This provides engine braking to keep vehicle speed under control. The transaxle will not downshift below third gear to control vehicle overspeed. The transaxle will upshift to fourth gear after the vehicle has reached the bottom of the hill. NOTE: On very steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur. It may be preferable to drive without Speed Control.
