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,
press the RES ACCEL
button on your steering
wheel. You’ll go right back
up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
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.
Press the COAST SET button on the steering wheel,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
D Press the RES ACCEL button on the steering wheel.
Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want
and then release the button. (To increase your speed
in very small amounts, press the RES ACCEL button
for less than half a second and then release it.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature will only work after you set the
cruise control speed by pressing the COAST SET button
on the steering wheel.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
D Press the COAST SET button on the steering wheel
until you reach the lower speed you want, then
release it.
D To slow down in very small amounts, press the
COAST SET button on the steering wheel for less
than a half second. Each time you do this, you’ll go
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 speed you set earlier.
