Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is at the set speed desired and then
the brake is applied, the cruise control is disengaged.
But it does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more, move the cruise control switch
briefly from
R to S .
The vehicle will go back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If the switch is held at resume/accelerate the vehicle
keeps going faster until the switch is released or the
brake is applied. Do not hold the switch at resume/
accelerate, unless you 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
T at the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from R to S . Hold it there
until the desired speed is reached, and then release
the switch. To increase the vehicle speed in very
small amounts, move the switch briefly to
S .
Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
If using the accelerator pedal and the set button at end
of the lever to increase cruise set speed, the new
set speed must be at least 5 mph higher than current
speed for this method to work. If it is not 5 mph higher,
move the cruise switch to off, then on, and then reset
the speed using the set button.
