Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a

about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more,
press the +RES button briefly on the
steering wheel. The vehicle returns
to the previous set speed.

To increase vehicle speed in

automatic transmission and a
gasoline engine have Cruise
Grade Braking to help maintain
driver selected speed.
Cruise Grade Braking is enabled
when the vehicle is started and
cruise control is active. It is not

Mode. It assists in maintaining
driver selected speed when
driving on downhill grades by
using the engine and
transmission to slow the vehicle.
