Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: • Press set/coast button until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise control feature. • To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press the set/coast button. Each time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Ending Cruise Control To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the brake pedal. Stepping on the brake will end the current cruise control session only. Press the cruise on/off button to turn off the system completely. 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. 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 speed. 3-13
