Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is
already activated:
Move the thumbwheel up toward
RES/+ and hold it until the
vehicle accelerates to the
desired speed, and then
release it.
To increase the speed in small
amounts, move the thumbwheel
up toward RES/+ briefly, then
release it. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about
1.6 km/h (1 mph) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is
already activated:
Move the thumbwheel toward
SET/ and hold until the desired
lower speed is reached, then
release it.
To slow down in small amounts,
move the thumbwheel toward
SET/ briefly and then release it.
Each time this is done, the
vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle's speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the
previous set cruise control speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control works
on hills depends upon the vehicle's
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle's speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake or
shift to a lower gear to maintain the
vehicle's speed. When the brakes
are applied the cruise control
shuts off.
Driving and Operating
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise
control:
To disengage cruise control,
step lightly on the brake pedal;
when cruise control disengages,
the indicator light will not be lit.
Press on the steering wheel.
To turn off the cruise control,
press on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory by pressing
or if the ignition is turned off.
