Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course,
disengages the cruise control. The cruise symbol in
the instrument panel cluster will go out, indicating

To return to your previously set speed, press the RES +
button once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the RES + button, the vehicle will keep going
faster until you release the button or apply the brake.
So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the RES +
button.
