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, you can
press the cruise control RESUME ACCEL
(Resume/Accelerate) button briefly.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you press the RESUME ACCEL button longer, the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release the
button or apply the brake. So unless you want to go
faster, don’t hold down the RESUME ACCEL button.
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 SET COAST button, then release the
button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise
at the higher speed.
D Press the RESUME ACCEL button. 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 RESUME ACCEL button
briefly and then release it. Each time you do this,
your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you turn on
the cruise control by pressing the SET COAST button.
