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.
Push the SETDECEL button, then release the button
and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the
higher speed.
Press the RESUME/ACCEL 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 RESUME/ACCEL 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
kmk)
faster.
The accelerate feature
will
only work after you turn on
the cruise control by pushing
the
SETDECEL button.

cruise control:
0
Push the SETDECEL button until you reach the
lower speed you want, then release it.
To
slow down in very small mounts, push the
SETDECEL button for less than half a second. Each
time you do this, you’ll go
1
mph
(1.6
kmk)
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.
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. Of course, applying the brake
takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control
on
steep hills.
Ending Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn
off
the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal;
0
Press the cruise control
ON/OFF
button.
Erasing the Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn
off
the cruise control
or
the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
