To
Increase
Speed
While
Using
Cruise
Control
(CONI)
Here’s
the
second
way to go to
a
higher
speed:
Move
the cruise switch
from
ON
to
RESUME/ACCEL.
Hold
it
there
until you
get up
to
the
speed
you
want,
and
then
release
the
switch.
amounts,
move
the
switch
to
RESUME/ACCEL
for
less
than
half
a
second
and
then
release
it. Each
time
you do this,
your
vehicle
will
go
about
1
rnph
(1.6
km/h)
faster.
To
increase
your
speed
in
very
small
If
you
have
the
3800
V6
engine,
the
accelerate
feature
will
only
work
after
you
have
set
the initial cruise control
speed by pushing
the
SET
button. If
you
have the
3 . E
V6
engine,
the
accelerate
feature
will
work
whether
or not you
have
set
an
initial cruise control
speed.
To
Reduce
Speed
While
Using
Cruise
Control
Push
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,
push
the
button
for
less
than
half
a
second.
Each
time
you
do
this, you’ll
go
1
mph
(1.6
W
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
have 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
takes
you
out
of cruise control. Many drivers
find
this
to
be
too
much
trouble
and
don’t use
cruise
control
on
steep
hills.
