Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course,
disengages 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 briefly from
on to resume/accelerate.
You'll go right back up to your 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. So unless you want to go faster,
don't hold the switch at resume/accelerate.
This light on the
instrument panel cluster
will come on while
cruise control is on.
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'll now cruise at the higher speed.
•
Move the cruise switch from on to
resume/accelerate. 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 briefly to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
•
Press in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the set button. Each time you do this, you'll go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
