This symbol, along with the mph (km/h) and the CRUISE SET message, will appear in the DIC when cruise is set. The vehicle will return to and stay at the preset speed. If you push up and hold the lever toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position, the vehicle speed will increase until you release the button or apply the brake. Unless you want to go faster, do not continue to hold the lever in the plus (resume/accelerate) position. This message will disappear when you brake or cancel the cruise control. It will reappear when set speed is resumed. The message will go out when the cruise control is turned off. The CRUISE SET message will also appear temporarily on the HUD, if equipped, when you push the lever to the set/coast/decelerate or the resume/accelerate positions. 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. Push up on the lever toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position, then release the lever and take your foot off the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This shuts off the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it. Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can push the lever upward toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position to return to your desired preset speed. • Push up and hold the lever toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position until you get up to the speed that you want, and then release the lever. To increase your speed in very small amounts, push up briefly on the lever and release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will speed up approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h). The acceleration feature will only work after you have set the cruise control speed by pushing the lever down to the set position. 3-10
