If the vehicle is in cruise control
and the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) becomes active,
the cruise control automatically
disengages. See Electronic
Stability Program on page 8-19.
When road conditions allow the
cruise control can be used again.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a
desired speed and then the brakes
are applied or the O Q button
is pressed once, the cruise control
shuts off.
Once the vehicle speed is
21 mph (33 km/h) (V6 engines)
or 24 mph (38 km/h) (V8 engines) or
greater, turn the band briefly to
RES+ position. The vehicle returns
to the previously set speed and
stays there.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a
higher speed:
• Turn the I band up to the
RES+ position. Hold it there until
the desired speed is reached,
then release it.
• To increase the vehicle speed in
very small amounts, turn the
band to RES+ 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
There are two ways to reduce the
vehicle speed while using cruise
control:
• Turn the I band down to the
SET− position. Hold it there
until the lower speed desired is
reached, then release it.
• To slow down in very small
amounts, turn the band to SET−
briefly and then release it.
Each time this is done, the
vehicle will go 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 slows 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 the
vehicle speed.
