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) switch 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
switch, the vehicle will keep going faster until you
release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you
want to go faster, don’t press and hold the
RESUME/ACCEL switch.

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 switch, then release 
it and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the
higher speed.

D

Press the RESUME/ACCEL switch. Hold it there
until you get up to the speed you want, and then
release it. (To increase your speed in very small
amounts, briefly press the RESUME/ACCEL 
switch 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 switch.

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control

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

D

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

D

To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET/COAST switch 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.
