Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then apply your brakes or the clutch, if equipped. 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 your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the switch at resume/accelerate. • Move the cruise switch from on to resume/ accelerate. 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 briefly to resume/accelerate. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed: • Press and hold the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: • To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press and release the set button. Each time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. • 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. 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. 3-11
