Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This shuts off
the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it.
Once you are driving about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, press the RES+ button on your steering
wheel. The vehicle will go back to your chosen
speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
•
If the cruise control system is already
engaged, press the RES+ symbol.
Hold it there until you get up to the speed

To increase your speed in very small amounts,
press the RES+ symbol briefly and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
