Setting Cruise Control Resuming a Set Speed If the cruise control is at the set speed desired and then the brake is applied, the cruise control is disengaged. But it does not need to be reset. Once the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch briefly from on to resume/accelerate. The vehicle will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. Do not hold the switch at resume/accelerate, unless you want the vehicle to go faster. {CAUTION: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control. 1. Move the cruise control switch to on. 2. Get up to the speed desired. 3. Press in the set button at the end of the lever and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. This light on the instrument panel cluster comes on while cruise control is on. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: • Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the set button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. • Move the cruise switch from on to resume/ accelerate. Hold it there until the desired speed is reached, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch briefly to resume/accelerate. Each time this is done, your vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. 3-18
