Resuming a Set Speed
Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then
applying the brake will end the cruise control function.
Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can briefly push the cruise control lever up to
RES/ACC (Resume/Accelerate) to reset. This returns
you to your desired preset speed.
Remember, if you hold the lever up at RES/ACC,
the vehicle will accelerate until you release the lever or
apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster,
don’t hold the lever at RES/ACC.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are three ways to go to a higher speed:
D Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed.
Push the lever down, then release the lever and
the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the
higher speed.
D Move the cruise lever up to RES/ACC. Hold it
there until you reach a desired speed and then
release the lever.
D To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the lever up to RES/ACC 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 only work after you have
set the cruise control speed by pushing the lever down
to SET
- CST.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
D Push the lever down until you reach a desired lower
speed then release it.
D To slow down in very small amounts, push the lever
down briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll go about
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.
