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 slow down in small amounts,
move the thumbwheel toward
SET/

briefly. Each time this is

done, the vehicle goes about
1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.

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 will slow down to the
previous set cruise control speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control works
on hills depends upon 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 maintain
the vehicle speed. When the brakes
are applied, the cruise control is
disengaged.

Ending Cruise Control

There are three ways to end cruise
control:

.

Step lightly on the brake pedal
or clutch to disengage cruise
control.

.

Press

*

on the steering wheel.

.

Press

1

on the steering wheel

to turn off the cruise control.

Erasing Speed Memory

The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory by pressing
the

1

button or if the ignition is

turned off.
