Setting Cruise Control Cruise control will not work if the parking brake is set, or if the master cylinder brake fluid level is low. The cruise control light on the instrument panel cluster comes on after the cruise control has been set to the desired speed. See Instrument Panel Cluster on page 3-28. Resuming a Set Speed If cruise control is set at a desired speed and the brakes are applied, this shuts off the cruise control. However, it does not need to be reset. Once your vehicle reaches a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, press the +RES button on the steering wheel. The vehicle goes back to the previously selected speed and stays there. {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. Press the cruise control on/off button. 2. Get up to the desired speed. 3. Press and release the SET- button located on the steering wheel. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control To increase the cruise speed while using cruise control: • Press and hold the +RES button on the steering wheel until you reach your new desired speed, then release it. • To increase vehicle speed in small increments, press the +RES button. Each time this is done, the vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. 3-12
