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.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch from ON to
R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay
there.
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 in the SET button, then release the button
and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the
higher speed.
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 WA for less than
half a second and then release it. Each time you do
this, your vehicle will
go
1 mph (1.6
k m / h )
faster.)
The accelerate feature will only work after you set the
cruise control speed by pushing the SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the SET button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
0
To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button €or less than
half
a second. Each time you do
this, you'll
go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
