Each time you do this, your vehicle speeds up about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). You can decrease the set cruising speed in any of these ways: Press and hold the DECEL/SET button. Release the button when you reach the desired speed. To slow down in very small amounts, tap the DECEL/SET button. Each time you do this, your vehicle slows down about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Tap the brake or clutch pedal lightly with your foot. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator on the instrument panel goes out. When the vehicle slows to the desired speed, press the DECEL/ SET button. Even with the cruise control turned on, you can still use the accelerator pedal to speed up for passing. After completing the pass, take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will return to the set cruising speed. Resting your foot on the brake or clutch pedal causes the cruise control to cancel. 176
