INSTRUMENT PANEL Setting Cruise Control the cruise control is on. See "Cruise Control Light" in this section. 4) Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake pedal, or depress the clutch pedal if you have a manual transmission. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it. Once you are going about 24 mph (39 km/h) or more, you can tap the RESUME button. You will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold in the RESUME button longer, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the button or apply the brake pedal. So unless you want to go faster, do not hold in the RESUME button. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: • Use the accelerator pedal to get to a higher speed. Press the SET button, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. • Press the RESUME 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, tap the RESUME button 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 SET button. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: • Press the SET button until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, tap the SET button. Each time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier. Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake pedal takes you out of cruise control. Many WARNING If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control.
