Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise controlat 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 (ResumelAccelerate) for abouthalf a second. You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it there until you get up to the speed ycu want, and then release the switch. (To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to FUA for less than half a second and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 k d h ) faster.) The accelerate feature will only work after you set the cruise control speed by pushing the SETKOAST button. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: Push in the SET/COAST button until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET button for less than half a second. Each time you do this, you'll go 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. Push in the SET/COAST button, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed. 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.
