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
kdh) 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, if you hold the switch at R/A (Resume/Accelerate) 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 (Resume/Accelerate).
To lncrease Speed While Using Cruise Control
While your cruise control switch
is
in the
ON
position, here are two ways to
go
to
a
higher speed.
0
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Push the button at
the end
of
the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
