(On/Off): Press this button to turn the cruise
control system on and off.
RES+ (Resume): Press this button to resume a set
speed and to accelerate the speed.

To set a speed do the following:
1. Press the on/off symbol to turn cruise control on.
The indicator light on the button comes on.
2. Get to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET− symbol and release it. The cruise
symbol displays in the instrument panel cluster to
show the system is engaged.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) or Enhanced Traction System
(ETS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See Traction Control System
(TCS) on page 4-7. When road conditions allow, the
cruise control can be used again.

Resuming a Set Speed

Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed
and the brakes are applied. This disengages the cruise
control. The cruise symbol in the instrument panel
cluster also goes out, indicating cruise is no longer
engaged. To return to the previously set speed,
you do not need to go through the set process again.
Once at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, press the RES+ symbol briefly.
This takes the vehicle back up and maintains the
previously chosen speed.
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 the
speed desired is reached and then release
the button.
•
To increase the vehicle speed in very small
amounts, press the RES+ symbol briefly and then
release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle
goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
