yellowblue Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise speed you set earlier. 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 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. Ending Cruise Control There are three ways to cancel the cruise control: D Step lightly on the brake pedal, D Press the OFF button on the turn signal lever. D Press the COAST and ACCEL buttons at the same time. Erasing Cruise Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. 2-43
