3. Move the thumbwheel down

toward SET/

and release it.

The desired set speed briefly
appears in the instrument panel
cluster.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator

pedal.

When the brakes are applied, the
cruise control shuts off.

Resuming a Set Speed

If the cruise control is set at a
desired speed and then the brakes
are applied, the cruise control is
disengaged. To return to the
previously set speed, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES/+
briefly when the vehicle has
reached a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more.

This accelerates the vehicle to the
previously selected speed.

Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

There are two ways to go to a
higher speed.

.

Disengage the cruise control,
but do not turn it off.

.

If the cruise control system is
already engaged, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES/+
and hold it until the vehicle
accelerates to the desired
speed, and then release it. To
increase the speed in small
amounts, move the thumbwheel
up toward RES/+ briefly and
then release it. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about
1.6 km/h (1 mph) faster.

Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

If the cruise control system is
already engaged,

.

Move the thumbwheel toward
SET/

and hold until the desired

lower speed is reached, then
release it.

.

To slow down in very small
amounts, move the thumbwheel
toward SET/

briefly. Each time

this is done, the vehicle goes
about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.

Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control

Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle's speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the
previously set cruise control speed.
