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 want 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, applyingthe 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. Lamps Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control: Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual transmission. Move the cruise switch to OFF. Erasing Speed Memory The switches are on the driver's sideof your instrument panel. When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. 2-39
