Setting Cruise Control Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shutsoff the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it. If you leave your cruise control switch on when you're not using cruise, you might hit button a and go into cruise whenyou don't want to.You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switchOFF until you want to use it. 1. Move the cruise control switch to ON. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switchfrom ON to R/A (resume/accelerate) for about half a second. 2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Push in the SET button at the end of the lever and release it. You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. Remember that if you hold the switch at R/A longer than half a second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold the switch at R/A. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 2-36
