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 move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A (resume/accelerate) briefly. You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold the switch at R/A. Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until you get up the speed you want, and then to release the switch. (To increase your speedin very small amounts, move theswitch to WA briefly and then release it. Eachtime you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)The accelerate feature will work whether or not you have set an initial cruise control speed. Reducing Speed While Using Cru ise Control There are two ways to reduce speed while using cruise control: Press the SET button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, press the SET button briefly. Each time you do this, you'll go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: 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'll now cruise at the higher speed. 3-12
