Using Cruise Control

The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal lever. Make sure you read this section and understand how to safely operate this feature before using the cruise control.

WARNING

Improper operation of cruise control could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. Follow all cruise operation procedures carefully. Never use cruise control when roads are wet or slippery. Do not use cruise control when driving in heavy or congested traffic.

NOTE

Cruise control functions will not be available until the brake has been applied firmly at least once after a restart of the vehicle.

Cruise Control Tips

Cruise control can be set in any gear.
Vehicle speed must be above 25 MPH (40 km/h).
Set speed will vary slightly in hilly terrain.
The cruise control will not resume a pre-set speed if the resulting acceleration or deceleration rate is too high or too low. For example, resuming a set speed from 30 MPH (48 km/h) while in 5th gear may cause cruise to disengage.
Cruise control will not engage if brake lights are not operating properly.
Cruise control will be disabled if there is an active stability or traction control event.
Cruise control will be disabled if there are multiple wheel speed sensor faults or a communication error with the electronic stability module.

Set Speed

Increase Speed Setting

Move and release the ON/OFF/RES switch to RES to increase the set speed in approximately one MPH (1-2 km/h) increments.

The speed will reset when the switch is released or after a maximum acceleration of approximately 10 MPH (16 km/h), whichever comes first.

Reduce Speed Setting

Press and release the SET switch to decrease speed in approximately one MPH (1-2 km/h) increments. Press and hold the SET switch to decelerate to a new SET speed (resets when switch is released), or to the minimum cruise speed of 25 MPH (40 km/h).
