Resuming a Set Speed Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied. This disengages the cruise control. But it does not need to be reset. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch briefly from on to resume/accelerate. You will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the switch at resume/accelerate. • Move the cruise switch from on to resume/accelerate. Hold it there until you reach the desired speed, and then release the switch. To increase the vehicle speed in very small amounts, move the switch briefly to resume/ accelerate. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control • Press in the button at the end of the lever until the lower desired speed is reached, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press the set button. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle's speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed set earlier. • 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 will now cruise at the higher speed. If the accelerator pedal is held longer than 60 seconds, cruise control will turn off. 3-13
