Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you don’t want to. You
could be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch off until you want to use
cruise control.
1. Press the ON - OFF button at the end of the cruise
control lever. The CRUISE light on the instrument
panel cluster will come on. See “Cruise Light” in the
Index for more information.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Move the lever down to SET/COAST and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed and
then you apply the brake. This will shut off cruise
control. But you won’t need to reset it.
Unless you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) you can
push the lever up to RES/ACC (Resume/Accelerate).
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If your preset speed cancels out when it shouldn’t, there
may be a problem with your vehicle’s cruise control.
See your dealer.
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.
Move the lever down to SET/COAST. 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 get up to the speed you want, and then
release the lever.
D To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the lever 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.
