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 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 the vehicle’s
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the previously set cruise speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control will work on hills depends
upon the vehicle’s speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s speed.
When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to
a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down. When the
brakes are applied the cruise control turns off.
