Resume/Accel Switch

The cruise control Resume/Accel switch (located on the right side of the steering wheel) has two positions Normal and Depressed.
^ The Resume Position: The resume switch is used to return cruise control operation to the last speed setting by MOMENTARILY depressing the switch after braking. If the switch is held in the Resume/Accel position for more than one second, the system reverts to the Accel mode.

Important: Unless the SET button has been previously set on the current ignition cycle, Resume will not function.

^ The Accel Position: In order to use the Accel mode, the cruise OFF/ON switch must be in the ON position and the vehicle must be above the low speed lockout which is approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). To accelerate the vehicle, press the Resume switch and hold it there until the vehicle reaches the desired increased speed. When the Resume/Accel switch is released, the speed the vehicle accelerated to becomes the new cruise speed.
^ The Tap-Up Position: The Resume/Accel switch may also be used to tap-up vehicle speed. In order to do this, the cruise must be engaged and operating. Tapping-up is done by quickly pressing the Resume/Accel switch down and quickly releasing it, or tap the switch. Do not hold the switch in the R/A position or the system will revert to the Accel mode. Tap-up is a function iii which cruise speed can be increased by 0.62 km/h (1 mph) increments (one tap = 1 mph increase).
The accelerator may be depressed at any time to override the cruise system. Release of the accelerator will return the vehicle to the previously set cruise speed.

CAUTION: To keep the vehicle under control, and to prevent possible vehicle damaged, it is not advisable to use the cruise control on slippery roads. It is recommended not to use the cruise control in conditions such as on winding roads or in traffic of heavy or varying volume.
