If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) or Enhanced Traction
System (ETS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 262and
Enhanced Traction System (ETS) on page 263.
When road conditions allow, the cruise control can
be used again.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brakes. This
disengages the cruise control. The cruise symbol
in the instrument panel cluster will also go out
indicating cruise is no longer engaged. To return
to your previously set speed, you do not need
to go through the set process again. Once
at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can press the RES+ symbol briey.
This will take you back up to your previously
chosen speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
If the cruise control system is already
engaged, press the RES+ symbol. 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 RES+ symbol briey and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
Push and hold the SET−symbol until you
reach the lower speed you want, then
release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET−symbol briey. Each time you do this,
you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
