If your vehicle has this feature, it is located at the end of the multifunction lever.

(Set): Pressing in this button at the end of the lever sets the cruise control speed.

(Off): Moving the switch to this position turns off the cruise control.

(On): Moving the switch to this position turns on the cruise control.

(Resume/Accelerate): Moving the switch to this position turns on resume/accelerate.

With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 30 mph (48 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 30 mph (48 km/h).

If you have an automatic transmission and you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.

If you have a manual transmission and you apply your brakes or push the clutch pedal, the cruise control will shut off.

Caution: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use the cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic.

Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.

Setting Cruise Control

Caution: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control.

1. Move the cruise control switch to on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press in the set button at the end of the lever and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal will not go down.

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 30 mph (48 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch briefly from on to resume/accelerate.

The vehicle will return to your chosen speed and stay there.

If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, 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 resume/accelerate.

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control

There are two ways to go to a higher speed:

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control

Press in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.

To slow down in very small amounts, tap the button briefly. 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 or clutch takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise control on steep hills.

Ending Cruise Control

There are four different ways to turn off the cruise control:

Erasing Speed Memory

When you turn off the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
