Using Cruise Control on Hills How well the cruise control will work on hills depends upon the vehicle 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 keep the vehicle's speed down. Applying the brake will turn off the cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills. Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to end cruise control: • Step lightly on the brake pedal or the clutch pedal if the vehicle has a manual transmission. This will only end the current cruise control session. • Press the cruise control J on/off button to turn the system completely off. Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed memory is erased when the cruise control or the ignition is turned off. 3-13
