Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control a desired speed at and then apply the brake clutch pedal. This,of course, or shuts off the cruise control. But you don't needreset it. to Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruisecontrol switch from ON to WA (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second. You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: 0 Push in the set button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, thenrelease it. 0 To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half a second. Each time youdo this, you'll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control 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. 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. Push the setbutton at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed. Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. (To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to WA for less than half a second and thenrelease it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.) Using Cruise Control on Hills How well yourcruise control will work onhills depends upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may haveto step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have tobrake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speeddown. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't usecruise control on steep hills. 0 2-49
