RES+ (Resume): Press to resume a set speed and to
accelerate the speed.
SET– (Set): Press to set a speed and to decrease the
speed.
To set a speed do the following:
1. Press J to turn the cruise control on. The indicator
light on the button will come on.
2. Get to the speed desired.
3. Press the SET– part of the control button and
release it. The 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.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed and
then the brake is applied. This disengages 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 traveling at least 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
press the RES+ part of the button briefly.
The vehicle returns to the previously selected speed
and stays there.
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+ part of the button. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed desired, and then release
the button. To increase the vehicle speed in very
small amounts, press the RES+ part of the button
briefly and then release it. Each time this is done,
the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
Push and hold the SET– part of the button until the
lower speed desired is reached, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET– part of the button briefly. Each time this
is done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
slower.
