Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set the cruise control to a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This turns off the cruise control. But it does not need to be reset. Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch briefly from on to resume/accelerate. The vehicle will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the lever at resume/accelerate the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the lever or apply the brake. Do not hold the lever at resume/accelerate if you do not want the vehicle to go faster. • Move the cruise lever from on to resume/accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the speed desired, and then release the lever. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the lever briefly to resume/accelerate. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control • Press and hold the set button until you reach the lower speed desired, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press the set button. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier. • Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the set button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. If the accelerator pedal is held longer than 60 seconds, cruise control will turn off. 3-12
