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 move the cruise
control switch from
ON
to
R/A
(resume/accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there. Remember that if you hold the switch at
R/A
longer than half a second,
the
vehicle will keep going
faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
So
unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch
at
RIA.

Move the cruise switch from
ON
to
R/A.
Hold
it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch. To increase your speed
in
very small amounts, move the switch to
R/A
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 have set
the cruise control speed by pushing the SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
