Here's the second way to go to ahigher speed: Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. 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 cruisecontrol speed you set earlier. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A for lessthan half a second and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. If you have the 3.1L V6 engine, the accelerate feature will work whether or not you have set an initial cruise control speed. Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control will work on depends hills upon your speed, load, andthe 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 alower gear to keep your speed down.Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find to be too this much trouble and don't use cruisecontrol on steep hills. If you have the 3800 V6 engine, the accelerate feature will only work after you have set the initial cruise control speed by pushing the SET button. To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control 0 To Get Out of Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control: Step lightly on the brake pedal; OR Move the cruise switch to OFF. Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for lessthan half a second. Each time you do this, you'11 go 1 mph (1.6 k k slower. m) To Erase Speed Memory When you turn o f the cruise control or the ignition, your f cruise control set speed memory is erased. If you have the 3800 V6 engine, cruise control memory will also be erased when you place the transaxle PARK (P). in 2-49

Here’s the second way to go to
a higher speed:
Move the cruise switch from
ON
to
WA.
Hold it
there
until
you get up to the speed
you want, and
then
release the switch.
To
increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the switch
to
R/A
for
less
than half a second and then
release
it.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will
go
about
1
mph (1.6
km/h)
faster.
If
you have the 3.1L
V6 engine,
the
accelerate
feature
will work whether or
not you have set
an
initial
cruise
control speed.
If
you
have
the
3800
V6 engine, the accelerate
feature
will
only
work after you have
set
the
initial
cruise
control speed
by pushing the
SET
button.
To
Reduce
Speed
While
Using
Cruise
Control
0
Push
in the button at the end
of
the
lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
To
slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for
less
than
half
a
second. Each time
you
do
this,
you’11
go
1
mph
(1.6
kmk)
slower.
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 control 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.
To
Get
Out
of
Cruise
Control
There
are
two ways
to
turn
off
the
cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal;
OR
Move
the
cruise switch to
OFF.
To
Erase
Speed
Memory
When
you
turn
off
the cruise control
or the ignition,
your
cruise control set speed memory
is
erased.
If
you
have
the
3800
V6
engine,
cruise
control
memory
will
also
be
erased
when
you
place
the
transaxle
in
PARK
(P).
