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. • Press the on/off button, this will turn off the cruise control system. • Press the cancel button. When cruise control disengages, the cruise symbol in the instrument panel cluster will go out. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. 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 vehicle's speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your vehicle's speed down. Of course, applying the brakes ends cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills. Headlamps Ending Cruise Control There are three ways to disengage the cruise control: • Step lightly on the brake pedal; when cruise control disengages, the cruise symbol in the instrument panel cluster will go out. The lever on the left side of the steering column operates the exterior lamps. 174
