yellowblue Setting Cruise Control Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second to reset. This returns you to your desired preset speed. Also note that the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the CRUISE ENGAGED message again. Remember, if you hold the switch at R/A longer than half a second, the vehicle will accelerate until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold the switch at R/A. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control 1. Move the cruise control switch to ON. 2. Accelerate to the speed you want. 3. Press the SET CRUISE button at the end of the lever and release it. The CRUISE ENGAGED message will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). 4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Resuming a Set Speed Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then applying the brake will end the cruise function. There are two ways to go to a higher speed: CAUTION: If you leave your cruise control switch on when you're not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you don't want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use it. D Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Push the button at the end of the lever and then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed. D Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until you reach a desired speed and then release the switch. (To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A. 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 have set the cruise control speed by pushing the SET CRUISE button. 2-38
