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. Ending Cruise Control To turn off the cruise control, do one of the following: • Step lightly on the brake pedal, • move the cruise control switch to off, or • shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N). • If your vehicle has the StabiliTrak® feature, cruise control will turn off if road conditions cause StabiliTrak® to activate. • If the accelerator pedal is held longer than 60 seconds, cruise control will turn off. The cruise control will turn off automatically if the traction control system or StabiliTrak® system activate, if your vehicle is equipped with either feature. 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 want 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 do not use cruise control on steep hills. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. 159
