release

Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then 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 R/A
(resume/accelerate) briefly.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep
going faster until you release the switch or apply the
brake.
So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold
the switch at R/A.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the SET button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

The trip odometers will continue to keep track of
miles (kilometers) driven even
if they are not currently
displayed. To reset the odometer to zero
(0), press
and hold the tripheset button for at least
1.5 seconds,
but less than three seconds. Only the trip odometer that
is showing in the display will be reset.
Retro-Active Reset
Each of the two trip odometers has a feature callea
retro-active reset. This feature can be used to set
either (or both) trip odometer(s) to the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition was last turned
on. This can be used
if you forget to reset your
trip odometer at the beginning of a trip. To use the
retro-active reset feature, press and hold the tripheset
button for at least three seconds. The trip odometer
will then display the number of miles (kilometers) driven
since the ignition was last turned on and you began
driving. (If you use the retro-active reset feature
after you have started the vehicle, but before you begin
moving, the display will show the number of miles
(kilometers) you drove during the last ignition cycle.) Once you
begin driving, the trip odometer will
accumulate mileage. For example,
if you have driven
5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started your vehicle,
and then activate the retro-active reset feature, the
display will show
5.0 miles (8.0 km). As you drive,
the display will then increase to
5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc. Only the trip odometer that is
displayed will be affected by the retro-active reset
so that both trip odometers can be used separately.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for several seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.
The safety belt light will also come on and stay
on for several seconds.
If the driver’s belt is
already buckled, neither
the chime nor the light
will come on.
