Setting Cruise Control

{CAUTION:

If you leave your cruise control on when you

are not using cruise, you might hit a button

and go into cruise when you do not want to.

You could be startled and even lose control.

Keep the cruise control switch off until you

want to use cruise control.

1. Press the cruise ON OFF button.

2. Get up to the speed you want.

3. Press the SET COAST button and release it.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

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 press the cruise control RESUME ACCEL

(Resume/Accelerate) button brieﬂy.

You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay

there.

If you press the RESUME ACCEL button longer, the

vehicle will keep going faster until you release the button

or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster,

don’t hold down the RESUME ACCEL button.

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. Press the SET COAST 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 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 turn on

the cruise control by pressing the SET COAST button.
