To Resume 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.

Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.

a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go

Passing Another Vehicle Mile 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.
