The cruise control buttons are located on the steering wheel. Press this button to turn the cruise control system on and off. +RES (Resume): Press this part of the button to resume a set speed and to accelerate the speed. −SET (Set): Press this part of the button to set a speed and to decrease the speed. To set a speed do the following: 1. Press the on/off button to turn cruise control on. The indicator light on the button will come on. 2. Get to the speed you want. 3. Press the −SET part of the control button and release it. The CRUISE message will display in the instrument panel cluster to show the system is engaged. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. When the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Enhanced Traction System (ETS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See Enhanced Traction System (ETS) on page 4-8. When road conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again. J (On/Off): Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, disengages the cruise control. The CRUISE message in the instrument panel cluster will also go out indicating cruise is no longer engaged. To return to your previously set speed, you do not need to go through the set process again. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can press the +RES part of the button briefly. This will take you back up to your previously chosen speed and stay there. 3-11
