Setting Cruise Control
If
you leave your cruise control switch on when
you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button
and
go
into cruise when
you
don’t want to.
You
could be startled and even
lose
control. Keep the
cruise control switch
OFF
until you want to use
it.
1.
Move the cruise control switch to
ON.
2.
Get up to the speed you want.
3.
Push in the
SET
button
at
the
end of the lever
and release it.
4.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
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 move the cruise
control switch from
ON
to
R/A (resume/accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there. Remember that if you hold the switch at R/A
longer than half a second, the vehicle will keep going
faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
You could be startled and even lose control.
So
unless
you want to
go
faster, don’t hold the switch at
R/A.
