Resuming
a
Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at
a
desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off
the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it.
Unless you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or less or
you slowed down to 10 mph (16 k m h ) less than your
preset speed, you can press the lever up to RESIACC
(Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If your preset speed cancels out when it shouldn't,
there may be a problem with your cruise control.
See your dealer.
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.
Push the lever to SETICOAST and hold it for less
than a second. Release the lever and the accelerator
pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise lever up to RESIACC. Hold
it there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the lever. (To increase your speed in
very small amounts, move the lever to RESIACC
for less than half a second and then release it.
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:
Push the lever to SETICOAST until you reach the
lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the lever
for less than half a second. Each time you do this,
you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Contro
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
