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.

Ending Cruise Control

There are four ways to end cruise
control:

.

To disengage cruise control,
step lightly on the brake pedal.
