Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This shuts off the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it. Once you are driving about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, press the RES+ button on your steering wheel. The vehicle will go back to your chosen speed and stay there. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control To reduce your speed while using cruise control: • Press and hold the set button on the steering wheel until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, press the set button on the steering wheel briefly. Each time you do this, you'll go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed. • If the cruise control system is already engaged, press the RES+ symbol. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the button. • To increase your speed in very small amounts, press the RES+ symbol briefly and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise speed you set earlier. 178
