72 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To Deactivate: A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANCEL button, or normal brake or clutch pressure will deactivate speed control without erasing the memory. Pushing the ON/OFF button or turning off the ignition turns the speed control system off and erases the memory. To Resume Speed: To resume a previously set speed, push and release the RESUME/ACCEL button. Resume can be used at any speed above 25 mph (40 km/h). To Vary The Speed Setting: When the speed control is Engaged (actively controlling to a SET speed), speed can be increased by pressing and holding the RESUME/ACCEL button. When the button is released, a new set speed will be established. Tapping the RESUME/ACCEL button once will result in a 2 mph (3 km/h) increase in the SET speed. Each time the button is tapped, the SET speed increases. For example tapping the button three times will increase speed by 6 mph (10 km/h), etc. To decrease speed while speed control is Engaged, press and hold the COAST button. Releasing the button when the desired speed is reached, will establish a new SET speed. Tapping the COAST button once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) decrease in the SET speed. Each time the button is tapped, the SET speed decreases. For example, tapping the button three times will decrease speed by 3 mph (5 km/h). To Accelerate For Passing: NOTE: If the set speed is exceeded by 20 mph (32 km/h) or more during the acceleration, the set speed will have to manually re-engaged. Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the SET speed. Using Speed Control On Hills Vehicles with automatic transmissions are equipped with Interactive Speed Control. This feature operates when travelling up or down hills with the Speed Control engaged and the driver's foot off of the accelerator.
