Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your 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. Applying the
brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out
of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift
to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill
slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise
control feature.

pedal, or press the CRUISE ON/OFF button on the
steering wheel.

(on cold days it may take longer for the image to
display), there may be something wrong with the
system. See your dealer for service.

or too high in your eld of view, it may take
you more time to see things you need to see
when it is dark outside. Be sure to keep the
image dim and placed low in your eld of view.

you see objects that are warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It can not sense things like brake lights,
turn signals or emergency ashers, traffic lights, or signs.
