Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch 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.
1. Press the button at the end of the cruise control lever
to turn on cruise control. 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 the cruise control is set at a desired speed and
then you apply the brake. This will shut off cruise
control. But you won'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 push the lever up to RES/ACC
(Resume/Accelerate). 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 vehicle's cruise control.
See your dealer.
