Storing and maintaining the current speed

You can store the current speed if you are driving faster than 20 mph (30 km/h).

•► Accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed.

•► Briefly press the cruise control lever up 1 or down 2.

•► Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.

Cruise control is activated. The vehicle automatically maintains the speed.

Cruise control may be unable to maintain the stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed is resumed when the gradient evens out. Cruise control maintains the stored speed on downhill gradients by automatically applying the brakes.
