Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control

To reduce your speed while using cruise control:

Press and hold the SET– button on the steering
wheel until the desired lower speed is reached,
then release it.

To slow down in very small amounts, press
the SET– button on the steering wheel briefly.
Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control

Use the accelerator pedal to increase vehicle speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle
will slow down to the cruise speed you set earlier.

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 your speed.
When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift
to a lower gear to keep your speed down. If the
brakes are applied the cruise control will turn off.

Ending Cruise Control

There are three ways to end cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal.

Press the

[

button on the steering wheel.

Press the

T

button on the steering wheel.

Erasing Speed Memory

The cruise control set speed memory is erased by
turning off the cruise control or the ignition.
