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 brakes or downshifting into FIRST (1) takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise control on steep hills. Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to end cruise control: Exterior Lamps The exterior lamp knob is located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. D Step lightly on the brake pedal. D Move the CRUISE switch to OFF. Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you turn off the cruise control or the ignition. Pull the knob toward you to operate the lamps. The exterior lamp knob has three positions: Off: Pushing the knob all the way in turns off all lamps except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
