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
move the Cruise Control switch from ON to
WA
(Resume/Accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
If
you hold the switch at
WA
(ResumelAccelerate) longer than half a
second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control.
So
unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at
WA
(ResumelAccelerate).

Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first:
1.
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2.
Push the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
