There are 2 ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control.

  • Move the cruise control switch downward to the SET/COAST position and hold until you obtain the lower speed you want. Then release it.
  • To slow down in very small amounts move the cruise control switch downward to the SET/COAST for less than 3/4 of a second and release. Each time you do this, you will go approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.
