RESUMING A SET SPEED RESUMING A SET SPEED RESUMING A SET SPEED RESUMING A SET SPEED RESUMING A SET SPEED
Suppose you set your cruise control at a
desired speed and then you apply the brake
pedal or press the button. This, of course,
shuts off the cruise control. But you don't
need to reset it. Once you're going about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more, you can tap the
RES/+ button.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed
and stay there.
If you hold the RES/+ button longer, the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release
the button, apply the brake pedal or press the
button. So unless you want to go faster,
do not hold the RES/+ button.

There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
• Use the accelerator pedal to get to a higher
speed. Press the SET/- button, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You
will now cruise at the higher speed.
• Press the RES/+ button. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want, and then
release the button. To increase your speed
in very small amounts, tap the RES/+ but-
ton and then release it. Each time you do
this, your vehicle will go about 2 km/h
(1.2 mph) faster. The accelerate feature will
only work after you turn on the cruise con-
trol by pressing the SET/- button.
