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 ®nd this to be too much trouble and don't use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to cancel the cruise control:
·Step lightly on the brake pedal.
·Slide the lever on the multifunction lever to the left
to the OFF position.
·Press the COAST and ACCEL buttons at the
same time.

cruise control set speed memory is erased.

is located on the
instrument panel to the left
of the steering wheel.
