Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it. Once you are going 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, you can move the cruise control switch upward to the RES/ACC position and release. You will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If the vehicle speed drops below 40 km/h (25 mph) or you turn the ignition off or turn the cruise switch off, you will erase memory.
