Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brakes. This will
disengage the cruise control. The indicator light on
the cruise control button will go out when the
cruise is no longer engaged. To return to the
previously set speed, press the RES+ button
briefly when the vehicle has reached a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
This will take you back up to your previously
selected speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
• Disengage the cruise control, but do not
turn it off.
• If the cruise control system is already
engaged, press the RES+ 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
RES+ button briefly and then release it.
Each time you do this, the vehicle will go
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− button until you reach
the lower speed you want, then release it.
• To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET− button briefly. Each time you do this, you
will 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, the
vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed
you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills
depends upon your speed, load, and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills,
you may have to step on the accelerator pedal
to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down. Of
course, applying the brakes ends cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be too much trouble
and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
