Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course,
disengages the cruise control. But you don’t need to
reset it.
Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you
can press the cruise control resume/accelerate button.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the resume/accelerate button the vehicle will
keep going faster until you release the button or
apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster,
don’t hold the resume/accelerate button.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the set/coast button, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll
now cruise at the higher speed.
Press the resume/accelerate button. Hold it there
until you get up to the speed you want, and then
release the button. To increase your speed in very
small amounts, press the button briefly. Each time
you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press set/coast button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the set/coast button. Each time you do this, you’ll
go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
