cruising speed. To return to that
speed, accelerate to above 25 mph
(40 km/h) and then press and
release the RES/ACCEL button. The
CRUISE CONTROL indicator comes
on. The vehicle will accelerate to the
same cruising speed as bef ore.
Tapping either of the paddle shif ters
shif ts the speed up or down, but does
not cancel the cruise control. For
more information on driving with
paddle shif ters, see page .
