Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brakes. This will disengage
the cruise control. The indicator light on the cruise
control button will go out when the cruise is no longer
engaged. To return to the previously set speed,
press the RES+ button briefly when the vehicle has
reached a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
This will take you back up to your previously selected
speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
•
Disengage the cruise control, but do not turn it off.
•
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
press the RES+ 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 RES+ button briefly and then
release it. Each time you do this, the vehicle will
go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
•
Push and hold the SET
−
button until you reach
the lower speed you want, then release it.
•
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET
−
button briefly. 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, the vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s speed.
When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down.
Of course, applying the brakes ends cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and do
not use cruise control on steep hills.
