celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the − SET" direction.RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the − SET" direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when

press the brake pedal and then push the
lever down in the − SET" direction.
Even if you downshift from D" to 4", with
the cruise control on, engine braking will
not be enabled because the cruise control
is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle
speed, reset to a slower speed with the
cruise control lever or depress the brake
pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise
control is cancelled.
