Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
D Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the button at the end of the lever and then
release the button and the accelerator pedal. 
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
D Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it
there until you reach a desired speed and then 
release the switch. (To increase your speed in very
small amounts, move the switch to R/A. Each 
time you do this, your vehicle will go about 
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature will only work after you have 
set the cruise control speed by pushing the SET
CRUISE button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
D Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed, then release it. A
CRUISE ENGAGED message will then display in
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
D To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
