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 from ON to
resume/accelerate (R/A) briefly. You will go back up to
your chosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep going
faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the switch
at R/A.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
To increase your speed while using cruise control, do
one of the following:
•
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the SET button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You will begin to cruise at the higher speed.
3-14
•
Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want,
and then release the switch. To increase your speed
in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A
briefly and then release it. Each time you do this,
your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will work whether or not you have
set an initial cruise control speed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
To reduce your speed while using cruise control, do one
of the following:
•
Press the SET button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, press the SET
button briefly. Each time you do this, you will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
