Resuming a Set Speed Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied. This disengages the cruise control. But it does not need to be reset. Once the vehicle is going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, move the cruise control switch briefly from R to S . The vehicle returns to the chosen speed and stays there.
