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.
If
the steepness
of
the hill causes the vehicle speed to drop more than
15
mph
(9.4
km/h)
below the set speed, your Cruise Control will automatically disengage.
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.
To
Get
Out
of
Cruise Control
There are two ways
to
turn off the Cruise Control:
0
Step lightly on
the brake pedal;
OR
