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) briefly. You’ll go right back up to
your chosen speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Q
e
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Push in the SET button, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed.
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
briefly 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 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:
e Push in the SET button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
Q To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) 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.
