With cruise control, a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).

If the brakes or clutch pedal, if the vehicle has a manual transmission, is applied, 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.

For vehicles with this feature, it is located at the end of the multifunction lever.

(Set): Press this button at the end of the lever to set the cruise control speed.

(Off): Turns off the cruise control.

(On): Turns on the cruise control.

(Resume/Accelerate): Turns on resume/accelerate.

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 .
2. Get up to the desired speed.
3. Press 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

If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brake is applied, this shuts off the cruise control. But it does not need to be reset.

Once the vehicle is going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, move the cruise control switch briefly from to .

The vehicle returns to the previously chosen speed and stays there.

If the switch is held at resume/accelerate, the vehicle keeps going faster until the switch is released or apply the brake. So unless you want the vehicle to go faster, do not 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 at the end of the lever until the lower speed desired is reached, then release it.

To slow down in small amounts, tap the button briefly. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 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 the cruise control works on hills depends upon the vehicles 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. When the brake or clutch is applied the cruise control will shut off.

For vehicles with the exhaust brake option and the exhaust brake is turned on, the exhaust brake may come on and try to slow down the vehicle to the set cruise control speed if the vehicle has accelerated past the set cruise control speed while going downhill.

Ending Cruise Control

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

Erasing Speed Memory

The cruise control set speed memory is erased when the ignition is turned off.
