Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle’s speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you might want 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.
Cruise Control in Sport/Mode and Manual
Paddle Shift Gear Selection
When the vehicle is in S (Sport Mode) and the manual
paddle shift controls are not being used, cruise
control operates in the same manner as D (Drive).
When the vehicle is in S (Sport Mode) and the manual
paddle shift controls are being used, cruise control
operates as follows:
If cruise control is active and a gear is selected with
the manual paddle shift controls, the vehicle speed is
maintained in the driver selected gear and will not
automatically up-shift or down-shift the transmission
while the driver’s gear selection is active.
If driving in hilly terrain, cruise control may not be
able to maintain vehicle speed if an up-shift or
down-shift is not selected by the driver. While driving
on hilly terrain and cruise control is active with
a manual paddle shift gear selection, the driver
must select the proper gear for the terrain or select
D (Drive) on the gear range selector for full automatic
transmission operation.
Ending Cruise Control
To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the
brake pedal. If the vehicle has a manual transmission,
lightly tapping the clutch will also end a cruise control
session.
Move the cruise control switch to
9to turn the system
completely off.
When cruise control is disengaged, the CRUISE
DISENGAGED message displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-54.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
