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 keep the vehicle speed down.
When the brakes are applied
the cruise control is turned off.
Ending Cruise Control
• Step lightly on the brake pedal.
When the cruise control is
deactivated, the CRUISE
INACTIVE message appears in
the instrument panel cluster.
• Press the O Q button at the
end of the lever two times.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory
is erased when the cruise control or
the ignition is turned off.

An arrow G on the instrument
panel cluster flashes in the direction
of the turn or lane change.

the lever. The turn signal flashes
automatically three times.
The lever returns to its starting
