Driving and Operating

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 very 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 vehicle speed. When you
take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the
previously 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;
when cruise control disengages,
the indicator light will not be lit.

.
