Setting Cruise Control
{
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
1. Move the cruise control lever to the on position.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the set button at the end of the lever and
release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The cruise symbol on the
instrument panel will be lit
when the cruise control
is engaged.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set the cruise control to a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This turns off the
cruise control. But it does not need to be reset.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch briefly from on to
resume/accelerate.
The vehicle will go right back up to your chosen speed
and stay there.
If you hold the lever at resume/accelerate the vehicle
will keep going faster until you release the lever or apply
the brake. Do not hold the lever at resume/accelerate
if you do not want the vehicle to go faster.
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. If the accelerator
pedal is held longer than 60 seconds, cruise control
will turn off.
•
Move the cruise lever from on to resume/accelerate.
Hold it there until you get up to the speed desired,
and then release the lever. To increase your speed
in very small amounts, move the lever briefly to
resume/accelerate.
