To reset the cruise control to a higher speed,
use one of the following procedures:
ACCEL — Press and hold the SET ACCEL
switch. Release the switch when the vehicle
has accelerated to the desired speed.
Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, press the
SET ACCEL switch and release it
immediately.
TAP-UP — Press and then quickly release the
SET ACCEL switch. Each time you "tap" the
switch, the set speed will increase by 1 mph
(1.6 km/h). Multiple taps will cause the set
speed to increase in increments of 1 mph
(1.6 km/h). For example, if the current set
speed is 55 mph (88 km/h) 5 taps of the SET
ACCEL switch will increase the vehicle speed
and SET it at 60 mph (96 km/h).
Cancelling and Resuming a Set Speed
If you press the brake pedal, cruise control is
cancelled. You can return to the set speed by
pressing the RESUME switch, as long as you did
not press the OFF switch. You must be driving
at least 30 mph (50 km/h).
Your vehicle will gradually return to the
previously set speed and then maintain it.
To Turn Off the Cruise Control System
Press the OFF switch.
In addition, the cruise control is turned off each
time you turn the vehicle ignition off.
