Cruise control system
Your vehicle is equipped with the Cruise Control system for cruising at a constant preset speed.
CRUISE CONTROL
When engaged, Cruise Control takes over accelerator operations at speeds greater than 20 mph (32 km/h) or 25 mph (40 km/h), depending on the powertrain.
The Cruise Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering wheel.
Cruise Control Buttons
1 — On/Off
2 — CANCEL
3 — RES (+)
4 — SET (-)
⚠ WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control and have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
To Activate
Push the on/off button to activate Cruise Control.
The Cruise Indicator Light in the instrument cluster display will illuminate. To turn the system off, push the on/off button a second time. The Cruise ..
Indicator Light will turn off. The system should be turned off when not in use.
⚠ WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system off when you are not using it.
To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Cruise Control on.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed and on level ground before pushing the SET (-) button.
When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push the SET (-) button and release. Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can increase speed by pushing the RES (+) button, or decrease speed by pushing the SET (-) button.
U.S. Speed (mph)
● Pushing the RES (+) or SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1 mph.
● If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to adjust until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
● Pushing the RES (+) or SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1 km/h.
● If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to adjust until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
USING CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without Cruise Control.
⚠ WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control and have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES (+) button and release. Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).

A tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANCEL button, or normal brake pressure will deactivate the Cruise Control system without erasing the set speed from memory.
The following conditions will also deactivate the Cruise Control without erasing the set speed from memory:
● Vehicle parking brake is applied
● Stability event occurs
● Gear selector is moved out of DRIVE
● Engine overspeed occurs
Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition in the OFF position erases the set speed from memory.
