Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you either apply the brake or press the clear button located on the steering column. This, of course shuts off the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it because the system remembers the last set speed. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, press the RES ACCEL (Resume Accelerate) button located on your steering wheel. You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: D Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the COAST SET button located on the steering wheel, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed.
