Move the cruise switch from
ON
to WA (Resume/Accelerate). Hold it
there until
you
get up to the speed you want, and then release the
switch.
To
increase your speed
in
very small amounts, move
the
switch
to
R/A
(Resume/Accelerate). Each time you
do
this, your vehicle will go about
1
mph
(1.6
km/h) faster.

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.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control
will
work on hills depends upon your speed,
load, and the steepness
of
the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
want
to
step
on
the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to
a
lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying
the
brake takes you
out
of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control
on
steep
hills.
