Cruise Control The cruise control may not hold the set speed when you are going up and down hills. If your speed increases going down a hill, use the brakes to slow down to the desired speed. This will cancel the cruise control. To resume the set speed, press the RES/ACCEL button. The CRUISE CONTROL light on the instrument panel comes on. When climbing a steep hill, the automatic transmission may downshift to hold the set speed. Changing the Set Speed You can increase the set cruising speed in any of these ways: Press and hold the RES/ACCEL button. The car will accelerate. When you reach the desired cruising speed, release the button. Push on the accelerator pedal. Accelerate to the desired cruising speed and press the DECEL/SET button. To increase your speed in very small amounts, tap the RES/ ACCEL button repeatedly. Each time you do this, your car will speed up about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). You can decrease the set cruising speed in any of these ways: Press and hold the DECEL/SET button. The car will decelerate. Release the button when you reach the desired speed. To slow down in very small amounts, tap the DECEL/SET button repeatedly. Each time you do this, your car will slow down about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Tap the brake or clutch pedal lightly with your foot.
