The RESUME/ACCEL - Resume/Accelerate switch (1) is a part of the cruise control mode switch. The RESUME/ACCEL switch returns the cruise control system operation to the last speed setting after a cancel input signal is received by the cruise control servo assembly, such as vehicle braking.

The RESUME/ACCEL switch activates when the cruise control switch momentarily rotates clockwise. Do not hold the cruise control switch in the RESUME/ACCEL position. If you hold the cruise control switch in the RESUME/ACCEL position for more the 1 second, the system will go into the accelerate mode.

Rotate and hold the cruise control switch in the RESUME/ACCEL position in order to accelerate during the cruise control system operation. When the cruise control switch releases, the cruise control system will maintain the new cruise speed.

In order to use the accelerate mode, the following conditions must be present:

You must press the main cruise control switch - CRUISE ON/OFF.
The CRUISE indicator must be lit.
The vehicle speed must be over 25 mph (40 km/h).
