3. Push in the SET button at the end of the lever and

release it.

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
RESUME/ACCEL (R/A) 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:
D 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.

D 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.
