To
Res.ume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a
desired spee-d with the
SET
button and
then you apply the brake. This, of
zourse, shuts off the cruise control. But
you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re
going about
25
mph
(40
lWh) or more,
you
can move the cruise control switch
€rom
ON
to
R/A
(which stands for.
Resume/Accelerate) for about half a
second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen
speed and stay there.
If
you shift into
P
(Park) after you set a
cruise control speed, you’ll erase the
system’s memory- Moving the switch to
R/A
won’t restore the speed you set.
