Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts
off
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 RES ACCL
(Resume/Accelerate) button for about half a second.
You’ll
go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If
you press the RES ACCL button longer than half a
second, 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 down the RES ACCL
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 CST SET button, then release the
button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll
now
cruise at the higher speed.
Press the RES ACCL 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 ACCL button for less than
half a second and then release it. Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go about
1
mph (1.6 km/h)
faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you turn on
the cruise control by pressing the CST SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press the CST SET button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, press the
CST SET button for less than half a second.
Each time you do this, you’ll go
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.
