Setting the cruise control
1. Move Cruise control to the ON position.
2. Set the speed you want.
3. Press the SET button at the end of the lever and release it.
4. Take your foot off the gas pedal.
Resuming set speed
Suppose you set the desired speed with the button and then apply the brake. This will, of course, disable Cruise Control. But you do not need to set the speed again.
Once you hit 25 mph (40 km/h) and more, you can move the Cruise control from ON to R/A (renewal/acceleration) for half a second.
You will return back to the previously selected speed and move at that speed.
Remember, if you hold Cruise control in R/A for more than half a second, the vehicle will accelerate until you release Cruise control or apply the brakes. Thus, if you do not want to go faster, do not hold the switch in the R/A position.
Increasing speed when using Cruise Control
There are two ways to increase speed:
Use the gas pedal to gain more speed. Press the SET button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the gas pedal. Now you will move at a higher speed.
Move Cruise control from ON to R/A. Hold Cruise control until you reach the desired speed and then release. To increase the speed slightly, move the switch to R/A for no more than half a second. Each time you do this, your car will move 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Speed reduction when using Cruise control
There are two ways to slow down when using Cruise Control:
Press the SET button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower desired speed and release the button.
To decrease the speed slightly, press the button for less than half a second. Each time you do this, you will move 1 mile per hour (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing another vehicle with cruise control
Use the gas pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the gas pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the previously set speed.
Using the mode on mountain roads
Many drivers find the use of this mode in the mountains inconvenient and do not use it.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off Cruise Control:
Depress the brake pedal lightly or move the drive speed switch to the OFF position.
Deleting cruise control memory
If you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, the cruise control memory is erased.
