Resuming a Set Speed If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and the brakes are applied, the cruise control turns off. But it does not need to be reset. Once the vehicle is going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) briefly. The vehicle will accelerate to the previous chosen speed and stay there. 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 button, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will now cruise at the higher speed. • Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until the vehicle accelerates to the desired speed, then release the switch. To increase the speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A briefly and then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. The accelerate feature will only work after the cruise control speed is set, by pushing the SET button. 1. Move the cruise control switch to ON. 2. Accelerate to the desired speed. 3. Push in the SET button at the end of the multifunction lever and release it. The CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster will come on. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 3-11
