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.
The cruise control buttons are
located on the left side of the
steering wheel.
E (On/Off): Press to turn the
cruise control system on and off.
An indicator light comes on.
RES+ (Resume/Accel): Move
the thumbwheel up to resume a set
speed or to accelerate to a higher
speed.
SET (Set/Coast): Move the
thumbwheel down to set a speed
or to decrease the speed.
To set a speed:
1. Press
E to turn cruise control on.
The indicator light on the button
comes on.
2. Get to the speed desired.
3. Press the thumbwheel toward
SET and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.

the cruise control shuts off.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a
desired speed and then the brakes
are applied, the cruise control is
disengaged. The indicator light on
the instrument panel cluster goes
out when the cruise is no longer
engaged. To return to the previously
set speed, press the thumbwheel
up toward RES+ briefly when the
vehicle has reached a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
This accelerates the vehicle to the
previously selected speed.

using cruise control:
Move the thumbwheel up toward
RES+ and hold it until the vehicle
accelerates to the desired speed,
and then release the switch.
