Resuming a Set Speed
If the brakes or cruise cancel button
are applied while the cruise control
is at a set speed, the cruise control
disengages. But it does not need to
be reset.
If the vehicle has a previously
stored set speed, and is traveling
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more,
press the +RES button once on the
steering wheel, and the vehicle
returns to the previously selected
speed and stays there.
Increasing Speed While Cruise
Control is at a Set Speed
To increase the cruise speed while
the cruise control is at a set speed:
. Press and hold the +RES button
on the steering wheel until the
new desired speed is reached,
and then release the button.
. To increase vehicle speed in
small increments, press the
+RES button. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about
1.6 km/h (1 mph) faster.
Reducing Speed While Cruise
Control is at a Set Speed
To reduce the vehicle speed while
the cruise control is at a set speed:
. Press and hold the SET – button
on the steering wheel until the
desired lower speed is reached,
and then release the button.
. To slow down in very small
amounts, press the SET
– button
on the steering wheel briefly.
Each time this is done, the
vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase your vehicle speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the cruise
control speed that was set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work
on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the
vehicle speed down. If the brake is
applied the cruise control
disengages.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise
control:
. Step lightly on the brake pedal.
. Press the
[
button on the
steering wheel.
. Press the
T
button on the
steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed
memory is erased, when the cruise
control or the ignition is turned off.
