Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. 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 to R/A briefly and
then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature will work whether or not you
have set an initial cruise control speed.

cruise control:
0
Press the SET button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release
it.
0
To slow down in very small amounts, press the
SET button briefly. Each time you do this, you'll go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
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.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to
step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed.
When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course,
applying the brake takes you out of cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't
use cruise control on steep hills.
