Driving and Operating

9-31

cruise control is disengaged without
erasing the set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle speed is about
40 km/h (25 mph) or greater, move
the thumbwheel up toward RES/+
briefly. The vehicle returns to the
previously set speed.

Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

If the cruise control system is
already activated:

.

Move the thumbwheel up toward
RES/+ and hold it until the
desired speed is reached, then
release it.

.

To increase vehicle speed in
small increments, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES/+
briefly. For each press, the
vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph) faster.

The speedometer reading can be
displayed in either English or metric
units. See

Driver Information Center

(DIC) on page 5-22

The increment

value used depends on the units
displayed.

Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

If the cruise control system is
already activated:

.

Move the thumbwheel toward
SET/

and hold until the desired

lower speed is reached, then
release it.

.

To decrease the vehicle speed in
small increments, move the
thumbwheel toward SET/

briefly. For each press, the
vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph) slower.

The speedometer reading can be
displayed in either English or metric
units. See

Driver Information Center

(DIC) on page 5-22

The increment

value used depends on the units
displayed.

Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control

Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the previous
set cruise control speed. While
pressing the accelerator pedal or
shortly following the release to
override cruise control, briefly
moving the thumbwheel toward
SET

will result in cruise set to the

current vehicle speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well cruise control works on
hills depends on the vehicle 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 speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake or
shift to a lower gear to keep your
speed down. If the brake pedal is
applied, cruise control will
disengage.
