Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you either apply the brake or press the clear
button located on the steering column. This, of course
shuts off the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset
it because the system remembers the last set speed.
Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
press the RES ACCEL (Resume Accelerate) button
located 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 located 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 located 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 briefly 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
located 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 located 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 located on the steering wheel
briefly and then release it. 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.
