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 it.

1. Move the cruise control switch to ON.

2. Get up to the speed you want.

3. Press in the SET button at the end of the lever

and release it.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

The CRUISE light on the
instrument panel will
illuminate when the cruise
control is engaged.

Resuming a Set Speed

Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course,
disengages 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
R/A for about a half a second.

You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.

If you hold the switch at R/A longer than half a second,
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.
