roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don't use Cruise Control \
on slippery roads.
To Set Cruise Control
Move the Cruise Control switch to ON.
1 CAUTION
A If you leave your Cruise Control switch on when you're not using \

c
PO261
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and th\
en you apply
the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need
to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can
move the Cruise Control switch from ON to
WA (Resume/Accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at WA (ResumelAccelerate) longer than half a
second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release t\
he switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose contr\
ol.
So
unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at WA
(ResumelAccelerate).
ro Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the fi\
rst:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

Here's the second way to go to a higher speed:
1. Move the Cruise switch from ON to WA (ResumelAccelerate). Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the
switch.
2. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to WA
(ResumelAccelerate) for less than half a second and then release it.
Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go 1 mph (1.6 kmlh) faster.

half second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal
to increase your speed. When you take your foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control speed you set
earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon \
your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
want to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed
down.
Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
1. Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a
manual transmission; or
ruzw
2. Move the Cruise switch to OFF.
