Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
1. Push the button at the end of the cruise control
lever to turn the cruise control on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
3. Push down on the cruise control lever and release
it. This will set the speed in cruise control.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
This symbol will appear on
the instrument panel
cluster when the cruise
control is set.
This symbol will disappear when the brakes are applied
or the cruise control is cancelled. It will reappear when
the set cruise speed is resumed.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then
the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off.
But the cruise control does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more, the cruise control lever can be
pushed upward toward the plus (resume/accelerate)
position to return to the preset cruise speed.
The vehicle will return to and stay at the preset
cruise speed. If the cruise control lever is pushed up
and held toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position,
the vehicle speed will increase until the lever is
released or the brakes are applied. Do not continue to
hold the lever in the plus (resume/accelerate) position,
unless a faster speed is desired.
