Resuming a Set Speed
If the brakes or cruise cancel button
are applied while the cruise control
is at a set speed, the cruise control
disengages. But it does not need to
be reset.
If the vehicle has a previously
stored set speed, and is traveling
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more,
press the +RES button once on the
steering wheel, and the vehicle
returns to the previously selected
speed and stays there.

Control is at a Set Speed
To increase the cruise speed while
the cruise control is at a set speed:

Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase your vehicle speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the cruise
control speed that was set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work
on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the
vehicle speed down. If the brake is
applied the cruise control
disengages.

control:

steering wheel.

memory is erased, when the cruise
control or the ignition is turned off.
