Resuming a Set Speed

and then the brakes are applied, cruise
control is disengaged without erasing the
set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle speed reaches about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more, briefly press
+RES. The vehicle returns to the previous set
speed.

If the cruise control system is already
activated:
.
Press and hold +RES until the vehicle
accelerates to the desired speed, then

to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills
depends upon the vehicle speed, load, and
the steepness of the hills. When going up

accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle
speed. When going downhill, you might
have to brake or shift to a lower gear to
keep your speed down. If the brake pedal is
