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 have 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 maintain the
vehicle's speed. When the brakes
are applied the cruise control
shuts off.Ending Cruise Control

the cruise control:
.Step lightly on the brake pedal
or clutch; when cruise control

control system off completely.

resumed.

memory is erased when the cruise
control or the ignition is turned off.
