yellowblue Resuming a Set Speed Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: D Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed. D Push the SET/ACCEL. button at the end of the lever and then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at a higher speed. Press the SET/ACCEL. button until the desired speed is reached. The new speed is maintained when the button is released. To increase your speed in very small amounts, tap the SET/ACCEL. button repeatedly. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. The accelerate feature will only work after you have set the cruise control speed by pushing the SET/ACCEL. button. Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then applying the brake will end the cruise function. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can press the RESUME/DECEL. button briefly to reset. This returns you to your desired preset speed. If you hold the SET/ACCEL. button in briefly, the vehicle will accelerate until you release the button or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold the button in. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: D Press the RESUME/DECEL. button at the end of the lever until you reach a desired lower speed, then release it. D To slow down in very small amounts, tap the RESUME/DECEL. button repeatedly. Each time you do this, you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. 2-39
