Driving and Operating

9-59

Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

There are two ways to go to a
higher speed:

.

Use the accelerator pedal
to get to the higher speed.
Press

T

at the end of the

lever, then release the button
and the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle will now cruise at the
higher speed. If the accelerator
pedal is held longer than
60 seconds, cruise control will
turn off.

.

Move the cruise switch
from

R

to

S

. Hold it there until

the desired speed is reached,
and then release the switch.
To increase the vehicle speed in
small amounts, move the switch
briefly to resume/accelerate.
Each time this is done, the
vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph) faster.

Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

.

Press and hold

T

until the

desired lower speed is reached,
then release it.

.

To slow down in very small
amounts, briefly press

T

. 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 slows down to the cruise
control speed set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control works
on hills depends upon the vehicle's
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
the accelerator pedal might have to
be used to maintain the vehicle
speed. When going downhill, you
might have to brake or shift to a
lower gear to keep the vehicle
speed down. When the brake is
applied the cruise control will
turn off.
