Resetting To A Faster SpeedΒ

Resuming The Preset SpeedΒ 

If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the control lever, by depressing the brake pedal, or by pushing the lever up in the "RES/ACC" direction will restore the speed set prior to cancellation. See Figure.

However, once the vehicle speed falls below about 25 mph (40 km/h), the preset speed will not be resumed.
