Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control

There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:

Push in the SET button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.

To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control

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. Of course,
applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use
cruise control on steep hills.

Ending Cruise Control

There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal, or

move the cruise switch to OFF.

Erasing Speed Memory

When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, or
shift into PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), your cruise control
set speed memory is erased.

Exterior Lamps

This control, located to the
left of the cluster on the
instrument panel, operates
the exterior lamps.

The exterior lamps control has three positions:

OFF: Pushing the control all the way in turns off all
lamps and lights.
