To Deactivate; To Resume Speed; To Vary The Speed Setting - Dodge 2010 Avenger Owner's Manual

118 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To Deactivate

A soft tap on the brake pedal, or pulling the Electronic
Speed Control lever toward you (CANCEL), or normal
brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will deactivate
the Electronic Speed Control without erasing the set
speed from memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or
turning off the ignition erases the set speed from memory.

To Resume Speed

If you deactivated the Electronic Speed Control without
erasing the set speed from memory and your vehicle
speed is above 20 mph (32 km/h) you can resume the
previous set speed. To do so, push the lever up and
release RESUME ACCEL, and then remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal.

To Vary the Speed Setting

When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can in-
crease speed by pushing up and holding the RESUME
ACCEL lever. If the lever is continually held in the
RESUME ACCEL position, the set speed will continue to
increase in 5 mph (10 km/h) increments until the lever is
released. Release the lever when the desired speed is
reached and the new set speed will be established.
Tapping RESUME ACCEL once will result in a 1 mph
(2 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped,
speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will
increase speed by 3 mph (5 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while the Electronic Speed Control is
set, push down and hold the SET DECEL lever. If the
lever is continually held in the SET DECEL position, the
set speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph (10 km/h)
increments until the lever is released. Release the lever
when the desired speed is reached, and the new set speed
will be established.
Tapping the SET DECEL lever once will result in a 1 mph
(2 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped,
speed decreases.
