after a cancellation.

speed until the desired new 
speed is reached.  
4. Press to cancel but retain the set speed in memory. 
Cruise control will also cancel if the brake pedal is 
pressed, or if vehicle speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h).
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
This enhancement uses a front mounted radar to monitor 
traffic ahead. ACC can be programmed to maintain a set 
gap to the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead is traveling 
slower than the set speed, your vehicle will automatically 
slow down and then maintain the set gap until the road 
ahead clears. At that point your vehicle will accelerate to 
the set speed.
