Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, disengages
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 button.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the resume button the vehicle will keep
going faster until you release the button or apply the
brake. So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the
resume button.
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 the set button, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher
speed.
Press the resume 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 button briefly. Each time you do this, your vehicle
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press set button until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the set button. 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, your vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
However, if you use the accelerator pedal to increase
your speed for approximately 60 seconds or longer,
your cruise control will disengage and you will need to
reset your desired speed.
