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 don't need to reset it. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 k d h ) or more, you can move the cruise control switchfrom ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second. You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. Remember, if you hold the switch at R/A (Resume/Accelerate) longerthan half a second,the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
