• If the vehicle speed increases above the set speed on a downhill, you

may want to apply the brakes to reduce the speed.

• If the vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph (16 km/h) below

your set speed on an uphill, your speed control will disengage.

Disengaging speed control

To disengage the speed control:
• Depress the brake pedal or press CNCL (Cancel).
Disengaging the speed control will not erase previous set speed.

Resuming a set speed

Press the RES control and release
it. This will automatically return the
vehicle to the previously set speed.

Increasing speed while using speed control

There are two ways to set a higher
speed:
• Press and hold the SET + control

until you get to the desired
speed, then release the control.
You can also use the SET +
control to operate the Tap-Up
function. Press and release this
control to increase the vehicle set
speed in small amounts by 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).

• Use the accelerator pedal to get to the desired speed. When the

vehicle reaches that speed press and release the SET + control.
