Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
If the cruise control system is already activated,
. Press and hold the SET– button on the steering
wheel until the desired lower speed is reached,
then release it.
. To slow down in small amounts, press the
SET– button on the steering wheel briefly. Each
time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the previous set cruise speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, the accelerator pedal might
need to be applied to maintain the vehicle speed. When
going downhill, the brake might need to be applied or
the vehicle might have to be shifted to a lower gear to
keep the vehicle speed down. When the brakes are
applied the cruise control is disengaged.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to end cruise control:
. To disengage cruise control; step lightly on the
brake pedal or the clutch pedal if the vehicle has a
manual transmission.
. To turn off the cruise control, press
I
on the
steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from memory by
pressing the
I
button or if the ignition is turned off.
