RES/ACC Switch




The RES/ACC (Resume/Accelerate) switch returns cruise control system operation to the last speed setting after a cancel input signal is received by the cruise control module (such as vehicle braking). This switch is activated when the cruise control switch is momentarily moved upward. Do not hold the cruise control switch in this position. Release it immediately. If the cruise control switch is held in the RES/ACC position for more than one second, the system goes into the accelerate mode. If acceleration during cruise control system operation is desired, move the cruise control switch upward into the RES/ACC position and hold it there until the vehicle reaches the desired speed. When the cruise control switch is released, the cruise control system will maintain the new cruise speed. In order to use the accelerate mode, the cruise on-off switch button must have been pressed, the CRUISE indicator must be lit, and the vehicle speed must be over 40 km/h (25 mph).

The RES/ACC switch can also be used to tap-up vehicle speed. In order to do this, the cruise control system must be engaged and operating. Tapping-up is performed by quickly moving the cruise control switch up into the RES/ACC position and releasing it (or tapping the switch into the RES/ACC position). Do not hold the cruise control switch in the RES/ACC position, or the cruise control system will enter the accelerate mode. Tap-up is a function in which cruise speed can be increased by 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments (one tap = 1.6 km/h [1 mph] increase.
