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.
When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to
a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course,
applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
• Step lightly on the brake pedal.
• Move the cruise control switch to OFF.
Erasing Cruise Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The control located to the
left of the steering column
operates the exterior
lamps.
The exterior lamp control has three positions:
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp Control/Off): Turning
the control to this position will activate the automatic
headlamp control when it is dark enough outside
and turn off all the lamps and lights during the day
except for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
