J(On/Off): Press this button to turn the cruise control
system on and off. The indicator light on the button
will be on when the cruise control is on and go off when
the cruise control is turned off.

CRUISE ENGAGED message will appear on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) to show the system
is engaged.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
When you apply the brakes or operate the clutch pedal,
the cruise control will shut off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-6 and Enhanced
Traction System (ETS) on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed
and then the brake is applied. This will disengage
the cruise control. To return to the previously set speed,
you do not need to go through the set process again.
Once the vehicle is going about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more, you can press the RES+ part of the button
briefly.
The vehicle goes back to the previously set speed.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
1. Disengage the cruise control by applying the brake
pedal, but do not turn it off. Accelerate to a higher
speed and reset the cruise control.
2. If the cruise control system is already engaged,
press the RES+ button. Hold it there until reach
the desired speed, and then release the button. To
increase the vehicle speed in very small amounts,
press the RES+ button briefly and then release
it. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
