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 on the turn signal/multifunction lever. O(Exterior Lamp Control): Turn the control with this symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps. The exterior lamp control has the following positions: AUTO (Off/Automatic Headlamps): Turn the control to this position to put the headlamps in automatic mode.

Ending Cruise Control To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the brake pedal. Stepping on the brake will end the current cruise control session only. Press the cruise on/off button to turn off the system completely. If the driver takes over the acceleration pedal for more than sixty seconds, cruise control will shut off. ; (Parking Lamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the parking lamps together with the following: • Sidemarker Lamps • Taillamps • License Plate Lamps • Instrument Panel Lights 53 (Headlamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights.
