Resuming a Set Speed
Increasing Speed While U
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.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch from ON to
R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second.
You'll go right back up
to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the switch at R/A longer than half a second,
the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the
switch or apply the brake. You could be startled and
even lose control. So unless you want to go faster, don't
hold the switch at WA.
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speea.
Push the SET button at the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll
now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. 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 for
less than half a second and then release it. Each
time you do this, your vehicle will go 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature will only work after you turn on
the cruise control by pushing the SET button.
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
0
Push in the SET button at the end of the lever until
you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
0
To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
