Using Speed Control On Hills

Vehicles with automatic transmissions are equipped with

Interactive Speed Control. This feature operates when

travelling up or down hills with the Speed Control

engaged and the driver’s foot off of the accelerator.

When Climbing A Hill

If vehicle speed drops 3 mph (5 km/h) below the Speed

Control set speed, the transaxle will downshift to third

gear. Under severe conditions the transaxle may down-

shift again to second gear. The transaxle will upshift to

fourth gear after the vehicle has reached the top of the

hill.

When Descending A Hill

If vehicle speed rises 3 mph (5 km/h) over the Speed

Control set speed, the transaxle will downshift to third

gear. This provides engine braking to keep vehicle speed

under control. The transaxle will not downshift below

thirdgear to control vehicleoverspeed. The transaxlewill

upshift to fourth gear after the vehicle has reached the

bottom of the hill.

NOTE:

On very steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain

may occur. It may be preferable to drive without Speed

Control.
