Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
{
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not 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 cruise on/off button. The indicator light in
the button will come on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the set button.
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,
disengages the cruise control. But you don't need to
reset it.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you
can press the cruise control resume button.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the resume 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
resume button.
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 set button, then release the button
and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at
the higher speed.
•
Press the resume button. Hold it there until you get
up to the speed you want, and then release the
button. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, press the button briefly. Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.
