Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at adesired 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 for about a half a second. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: 0 Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the button at the end of the lever, thenrelease the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise atthe higher speed. Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it there until you get up to speed you want, and the then release the switch. (To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to WA. Each time you do this, your vehicle willgo about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.) 0 You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. Remember, if you hold switch at R/A longer than the half a second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold the switch at WA. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control Press in the button at the endof the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, press the button for less than halfa second. Each time youdo this, you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Contro 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. 2-39
