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.
Getting Out
of
Cruise Control
There are three ways
to
turn
off
cruise control:
Step lightly
on
the
brake pedal, or push the clutch
pedal if you have a manual transmission.
Push in the CANCEL button on the end of the cruise
control lever.
Press
OFF
on the cruise control switch.
Erasing Speed Memory
When
you
turn off the cruise control
or
the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The
DRL
system will make your low-beam headlamps
come
on
at
a
reduced brightness when:
The ignition is
on,
0
The headlamp switch is off, and
0
The parking brake is released.
