foot off the pedal, your vehicle
will slow down to the Cruise Control
speed you set earlier.
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
