To Resume a Sef 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 lun/h) or more, you can move
the cruise control switch from
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.
A If you hold the switch at R/A
- longer than half a second, the
hicle will keep going faster until
you release the switch or apply the
brake. You could be startled and
even lose control.
So unless you
want to go faster, don’t hold the
switch at
R/A.
To Increase Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher
speed. Here’s the first:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to
the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the
lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to
go to a higher
speed:
1. 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.
2. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to
R/A for
less than half a second and then
release it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
1 mph
(1.6 lWh) faster.
