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 switch, then release
it and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at
the higher speed.
Press the RESUME/ACCEL switch. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want, and then release
it. (To increase your speed in very small amounts,
briefly press the RESUME/ACCEL switch 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 have set
the cruise control speed by pressing the SET/COAST
switch.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press the SETKOAST switch until you reach the
lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET/COAST switch briefly. Each time you do
this, you’ll go about
1
mph
(1.6
km/h) slower.

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.
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 your speed.
When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to
a lower gear to keep your speed down. Applying the
brake or shifting into a lower gear will take your vehicle
out of cruise control.
If
you need to apply the brake
or shift to
a
lower gear due to the grade of the downhill
slope, you may not want to attempt to use your
cruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal; or
press
ON/OFF.
