SET− (Set): Press this button to set a speed and to decrease the speed. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed and the brakes are applied. This disengages the cruise control. The cruise symbol in the instrument panel cluster also goes out, indicating cruise is no longer engaged. To return to the previously set speed, you do not need to go through the set process again. Once at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, press the RES+ symbol briefly. This takes the vehicle back up and maintains the previously chosen speed. [ (Cancel): Press this button to cancel cruise control. To set a speed do the following: 1. Press the on/off symbol to turn cruise control on. The indicator light on the button comes on. 2. Get to the speed you want. 3. Press the SET− symbol and release it. The cruise symbol displays in the instrument panel cluster to show the system is engaged. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. When the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction Control System (TCS) or Enhanced Traction System (ETS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control automatically disengages. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-7. When road conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed. • If the cruise control system is already engaged, press the RES+ symbol. Hold it there until the speed desired is reached and then release the button. • To increase the vehicle speed in very small amounts, press the RES+ symbol briefly and then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. 3-11
