8-40 Driving and Operating • To slow down in very small amounts, push the thumbwheel toward SET/− briefly. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower. Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle's speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the previously set cruise control speed. Using Cruise Control on Hills How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon the vehicle's speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle's speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower gear to maintain the vehicle's speed. When the brakes are applied the cruise control shuts off. Ending Cruise Control There are three ways to end the cruise control: Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed. • Step lightly on the brake pedal or clutch; when cruise control disengages, the indicator light on the instrument panel cluster goes out. • Disengage the cruise control, but do not turn it off. • If the cruise control system is already engaged, press the thumbwheel up toward RES/+ and hold it until the vehicle accelerates to the desired speed, and then release the switch. To increase the speed in small amounts, press the thumbwheel up toward RES/+ briefly and then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) faster. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control If the cruise control system is already engaged, • Press 5 to turn off the cruise control system. • Press \ to disengage the cruise control. Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed memory is erased when the cruise control or the ignition is turned off. • Push the thumbwheel toward SET/− and hold until the desired lower speed is reached, then release it.
