Driving and Operating

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 without erasing the set
speed from memory.

Once the vehicle speed reaches
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more,
move the cruise control switch
briefly from

R

to

S

. The vehicle

returns to the previous set speed
and stays there.

If the switch is held at resume/
accelerate, the vehicle keeps going
faster until the switch is released or
the brake is applied. Do not hold the
switch at resume/accelerate, unless
you want the vehicle to go faster.
