1. Push the end of the cruise control lever. The
CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster will
come on. See "Cruise Light" in the Index for
more information.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Push the lever down to SET/COAST and 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.
Unless you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or less or
you slowed down to 10 mph (16 km/h) less than your
preset speed, you can press the lever up to RES/ACC
(Resume/Accelerate) briefly. You'll go right back up to
your chosen speed and stay there.
If your preset speed cancels out when it shouldn't,
there may be a problem with your cruise control.
See your dealer.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
D
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the lever to SET/COAST and hold it briefly.
Release the lever and the accelerator pedal. You'll
now cruise at the higher speed.
D
Move the cruise lever from ON to RES/ACC.
Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want,
and then release the lever. (To increase your speed in
very small amounts, move the lever to RES/ACC
briefly and then release it. Each time you do this,
your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
D
Push and hold the lever to SET/COAST until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
D
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
lever briefly. Each time you do this, you'll go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
