The CRUISE SET message will also appear
briefly on the Head-Up Display (HUD), if your
vehicle has one, when the cruise control lever is
pushed to the minus (set) or the plus
(resume/accelerate) positions.
A cruise control light will also appear on the
instrument panel cluster when the cruise control
is on. This light will disappear when the brakes are
applied or the cruise control is cancelled. It will
reappear when the set cruise speed is resumed.
The light will go out when the cruise control is
turned off. See Cruise Control Light on page 189.
Resuming a Set Speed
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise control switch
briefly from on to resume/accelerate.
Your vehicle will go back up to your previously
chosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release
the switch or apply the brake. Do not hold
the switch at resume/accelerate, unless you
want the vehicle to go faster.

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 at the end of
the lever, then release the button and
the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at
the higher speed. If the accelerator pedal
is held longer than 60 seconds, cruise control
will turn off.
•
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
speed desired, and then release the switch.
To increase the vehicle speed in very small
amounts, move the switch briefly to resume/
accelerate. Each time you do this, your vehicle
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The acceleration feature will only work after the
cruise control speed has been set by pushing the
cruise control set button.
