Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This shuts off the
cruise control. But you do not need to reset it. Once
you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you
can press the cruise control ACCEL RESUME button
briefly. You will go right back up to your chosen
speed and stay there.
If you press the ACCEL RESUME button briefly, the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch
or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster,
do not hold down the ACCEL RESUME button.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
•
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the SET DECEL button, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You will
now cruise at the higher speed.
•
Press the ACCEL RESUME button. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want, and then release
the button. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, press the ACCEL RESUME button briefly
and then release it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
3-12
The accelerate feature will only work after you turn on
the cruise control by pressing the SET DECEL button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
•
Press the SET DECEL button until you reach the
lower speed you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, press the
SET DECEL button briefly. Each time you do
this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
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.
