Setting Cruise Control

CAUTION:

If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you don’t want to. You
could be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch off until you want to use it.

1. Move the cruise control switch to ON.

2. Get up to the speed you want.

3. Push in the SET button at the end of the lever and

release it.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Resuming a Set Speed

Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off
the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it.

Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can briefly move the cruise control switch from ON
to R/A (resume/accelerate).

You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there. If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will
keep going faster until you release the switch or apply
the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the
switch at R/A.

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control

There are two ways to go to a higher speed:

D

Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the SET button at the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll
now cruise at the higher speed.

D

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, briefly move the switch to R/A
and then release it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
