speeds.
Setting/changing set speed
Note: This illustration is general and details may vary depending on model.
For vehicles with only CC
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or
(3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 1 mph (+/- 1 km/h) increments.
• Press
and hold: Release the button when
the set speed indicator (4) has moved tothe desired speed. •
The most recently set speed will be stored.
If speed is increased by depressing the accelera- tor pedal while pressing the
(1) button on
the steering wheel, the vehicle's speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed. Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, willnot affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
For vehicles with both CC and ACC
–Change a set speed by pressing the (1)
or
(3) buttons briefly or by pressing and
holding them:
• Press briefly
: Press briefly: each press
changes the speed in +/- 5 mph (+/- 5 km/h) increments.

Temporarily increasing speed using the accelera- tor pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return tothe set speed when the accelerator pedal isreleased.
Using engine braking instead of
applying the brakes

–Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen- gage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using theengine braking function.

Cruise Control Dynamic Cruise
With the Dynamic drive mode, cruise control's acceleration and deceleration will be faster andmore immediate than in other drive modes.
