Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you don’t want to. You
could be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch off until you want to use
cruise control.
1. Press the button at the end of the lever to turn on
the system.
2. Accelerate to the speed you want.
3. Move the lever down once to SET/CST. The
CRUISE light will come on.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then
applying the brake will end the cruise function.
Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control lever up to RES/ACC
(Resume/Accelerate) briefly to reset. This returns you
to your desired preset speed. The CRUISE light will
come on.
If you hold the lever at RES/ACC, the vehicle will
accelerate until you release the lever or apply the brake.
So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the lever
at RES/ACC.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed.
Move the cruise lever to SET/CST and then release
the lever and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise
at the higher speed.
Move the lever up to RES/ACC. Hold it there until
you reach a desired speed and then release the lever.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the lever up to RES/ACC one second at a time.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by moving the cruise lever
down to SET/CST.
