Steering Wheel Controls Even with the cruise control turned on, you can still use the accelerator pedal to speed up for passing. After completing the pass, take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The car will return to the set cruising speed. Resting your foot on the brake pedal will cause the cruise control to cancel. Cancelling the Cruise Control You can cancel the cruise control in any of these ways: Tap the brake pedal. Press the SET/decel and RESUME/accel buttons at the same time. Press the Cruise Control Master Switch. When you tap the brake pedal, or press the SET and RESUME buttons at the same time, the CRUISE CONTROL light on the instrument panel will go out and the car will begin to slow down. You can use the accelerator pedal in the normal way. If you use the brake pedal to cancel cruise control, the system remembers the previously-set cruising speed. To return to that speed, accelerate to above 25 mph (40 km/h) and press the RESUME/ accel button until the CRUISE CONTROL light comes on. The car will accelerate to the same cruising speed as before. If you cancel cruise control by pressing the SET and RESUME buttons at the same time, the previously-set cruising speed is erased. To use the cruise control, accelerate to the desired cruising speed and press the SET/decel button. Pressing the Cruise Control Master Switch turns the system completely off and erases the previous cruising speed from memory. To use the system again, refer to Using the Cruise Control.
