Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
•
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the set button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed.
•
Move the cruise switch from on to
resume/accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to
the desired speed and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briefly to resume/accelerate. Each
time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
If using the accelerator pedal and the set button at end
of the lever to increase cruise set speed, the new
set speed must be at least 5 mph higher than the current
speed for this method to work. If it is not 5 mph higher,
switch cruise switch off, then on, and then reset
your speed using the set button.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
•
Press in the button at the end of the lever until the
desired lower speed is reached, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the set button. Each time you do this, you will go
about 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 control speed you set earlier.
