Some vehicles have a cruise light on the instrument panel cluster that will come on when the cruise control is engaged. 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. Press the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. • Move the cruise switch from on to resume/ accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the desired speed and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch briefly to resume/accelerate. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it. Once you are 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 the previously chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, the vehicle keeps going faster until you release the switch or apply the brakes. So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the switch at resume/accelerate. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control Press in the set button at the end of the lever until you reach the desired speed, then release it. Each time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. 161
