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. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise control feature. Headlamps The exterior lamp control is located in the middle of the turn signal/multifunction lever. See Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 3-9. O(Exterior Lamp Control): Turn the control with this symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps. The exterior lamp control has the following four positions: Ending Cruise Control To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the brake pedal. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, lightly tapping the clutch will end a cruise control session also. Stepping on the brake or clutch pedal will end the current cruise control session only. Move the cruise control switch to off to turn off the system completely. 9 (Off): Turning the control to this position turns off all lamps except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). ; (Parking Lamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the parking lamps together with the following: • Sidemarker Lamps • Taillamps • License Plate Lamps • Instrument Panel Lights Turning the control to this position turns on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. AUTO (Automatic): Turning the control to this position puts the headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode will turn the exterior lamps on and off depending upon how much light is available outside of the vehicle. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. 5 (Headlamps): 3-16
