4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The CRUISE light on the instrument panel will illuminate
when the cruise control is engaged.
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 move the cruise control switch from ON to
R/A (resume/accelerate) briefly.
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:
•
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.
•
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, move the switch to
R/A briefly 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 work whether or not you
have set an initial cruise control speed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce speed while using cruise
control:
•
Push in the SET button at the end of the lever until
you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
