Resuming a Set Speed Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied. This shuts off the cruise control. But it does not need to be reset. Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, press the +RES (resume/accelerate) button to return to the desired preset speed. The cruise light displays again. The vehicle returns to and stays at the preset speed. If you press and hold the +RES button, the vehicle speed increases until the button is released or the brake is applied. Do not hold in the +RES button, if you do not want the vehicle speed to increase. • Press the +RES button. Hold it there until the desired speed is reached, and then release the button. To increase the vehicle speed in very small amounts, briefly press the +RES button and then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle accelerates approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h). The accelerate feature only works after the cruise control speed is set by pressing the SET- button. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce the vehicle speed while using cruise control: Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: • Press the SET- button until the lower speed desired is reached, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET- button briefly. Each time this is done, the vehicle slows down approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h). • Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the SET- button, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle now cruises at the higher speed. 3-18
