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 press the RESUME/ACCEL
(resume/accelerate) button to return to your desired
preset speed.

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

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.
Press the SET/COAST button, then release the
button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at
the higher speed.

D

Press the RESUME/ACCEL button. Hold it there
until you get up to the speed you want, and then
release the button. (To increase your speed in very
small amounts, briefly press the RESUME/ACCEL
button and then release it. Each time you do this,
your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)

The accelerate feature will only work after you have set the
cruise control speed by pressing the SET/COAST button.

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control

There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:

D

Press the SET/COAST button until you reach the
lower speed you want, then release it.

D

To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET/COAST button briefly. Each time you do this,
you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

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.
