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 do not
need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise control switch
briefly from on to resume/accelerate.
You will go right back up to the previously chosen
speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, the
vehicle keeps going faster until you release
the switch or apply the brakes. So unless you
want to go faster, do not hold the switch at
resume/accelerate.
Some vehicles have a
cruise light on the
instrument panel cluster
that will come on
when the cruise control
is engaged.
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 button at the end of the
lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the
higher speed.
•
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
desired speed and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briefly to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
Press in the set button at the end of the lever until
you reach the desired speed, then release it.
Each time you do this, you will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
