3. Move the switch down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired
speed. The cruise set indicator
light will illuminate. Release the
accelerator pedal at the same
time. The desired speed will auto-
matically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
slow down or speed up slightly while
going downhill.
To increase cruise control set
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the switch up (to RES+) and
hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate.
Release the switch at the speed
you want.
Move the switch up (to RES+) and
release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1 km/h (or 1
mph) each time you move the
switch up (to RES+) in this manner.
To decrease the cruising
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the switch down (to SET-)
and hold it. Your vehicle will gradu-
ally slow down. Release the switch
at the speed you want to maintain.
Move the switch down (to SET-)
and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will decrease by 1
km/h (or 1 mph) each time you
move the switch down (to SET-) in
this manner.

To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) if equipped
with an Dual clutch transmission.
Press the CANCEL button located
on the steering wheel.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower
than the memory speed by approx-
imately 20 km/h (12 mph).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less
than approximately 25 km/h (15 mph).
Each of these actions will cancel
cruise control operation (the
cruise
set
indicator light will go off), but it
will not turn the system off. If you
wish to resume cruise control opera-
tion, move up the switch (to RES+)
located on your steering wheel. You
will return to your previously preset
speed.

To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 30
km/h (20 mph).
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when the
RES+ switch is pushed.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (the
cruise indicator light will be turn off).
If your vehicle equipped the speed
limit system, press the CRUISE
button twice. (The cruise indicator
light will be turn off.)
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions cancel cruise
control operation. If you want to
resume cruise control operation,
repeat the steps provided in “To set
cruise control speed” on the previous
page.
