Resuming a Set SpeedSuppose you set your cruise control at a desired speedand then you apply the brake. This, of course,disengages the cruise control. But you don’t need toreset it.Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,you can move the cruise control switch briefly from on toresume/accelerate.You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and staythere.If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the vehiclewill keep going faster until you release the switch orapply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don’thold the switch at resume/accelerate.Increasing Speed While Using CruiseControlThere are two ways to go to a higher speed:• Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higherspeed. Press the set button at the end of the lever,then release the button and the acceleratorpedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.• Move the cruise switch from on toresume/accelerate. Hold it there until you get up tothe speed you want, and then release the switch.To increase your speed in very small amounts,move the switch briefly to resume/accelerate.Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.Reducing Speed While Using CruiseControlThere are two ways to reduce your speed while usingcruise control:• Press in the button at the end of the lever until youreach the lower speed you want, then release it.• To slow down in very small amounts, briefly pressthe set button. Each time you do this, you’ll goabout 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.Passing Another Vehicle While UsingCruise ControlUse the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle willslow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.3-13
