Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed
and the brakes are applied. This disengages the cruise
control. The cruise symbol in the instrument panel
cluster also goes out, indicating cruise is no longer
engaged. To return to the previously set speed, you do
not need to go through the set process again. Once
at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, press the
RES+ symbol briefly.
This takes the vehicle back up and maintains the
previously chosen speed.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
• If the cruise control system is already engaged,
press the RES+ symbol. Hold it there until the
speed desired is reached and then release
the button.
• To increase the vehicle speed in very small
amounts, press the RES+ symbol 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− symbol until the lower
speed desired is reached, then release it.
• To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET− symbol briefly. Each time this is done,
the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain your vehicle’s
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep your vehicle’s speed
down. Applying the brakes does turn off the cruise
control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble
and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
