If you leave your cruise control on when you're
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when you don't want to. You could
be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch off until you want to use
cruise control.

release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the cruise control. But you don't need to reset
it. Once you're going about 25 rnph
(40
krn/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch from ON to
R/A (resume/accelerate) briefly.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there.
If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep
going faster until you release the switch or apply the
brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold
the switch at R/A.
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. Push the SET button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You'll now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want,
and then release the switch. (To increase your
speed in very small amounts, move the switch to
R/A briefly and then release it. Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
