120 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE speed. To do so, push the lever up and release (RES/ ACCEL), and then remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. To Vary the Speed Setting: When the speed control is set, you can increase speed by pushing the lever up and holding ("RES/ACCEL"). When the lever is released, a new set speed will be established. Pushing the lever up and releasing ("RES/ACCEL") once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is pushed up and released, speed increases so that pushing the lever up and releasing three times will increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h), etc. To decrease speed while speed control is set, push the lever down and hold ("SET/DECEL"). Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and a new set speed will be established. Pushing down and releasing the lever ("SET/DECEL") once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the lever is pushed down and released, speed decreases. To Accelerate For Passing: Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed. NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. Four speed automatic transmissions will experience a downshift to 3rd gear while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This downshift to 3rd gear is necessary to maintain vehicle set speed. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without speed control.
