Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can press the cruise control RES ACCL (Resume/Accelerate) button briefly. You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you press the RES ACCL button longer, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the button or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold down the RES ACCL button. • Press the RES ACCL button. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the button. To increase your speed in very small amounts, press the RES ACCL button briefly and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. The accelerate feature will only work after you turn on the cruise control by pressing the CST SET button. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: • Press the CST SET button until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, press the CST SET button briefly. Each time you do this, you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. • Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the CST SET button, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed. 3-12
