All the controls are located on a stalk at the lower right side of the steering wheel.


  1. Press the on/off button on the end of the stalk to activate the cruise control.
  2. The cruise control icon will appear in the instrument display.
  3. Then accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed and press the stalk down to set the Cruise Control speed.
  4. Once you’ve set the speed, if you want to increase it, move the stalk upwards and hold it until the desired speed is reached. Then release it.
  5. To reduce your speed, move the stalk down and hold it until the desired speed is reached. Then release it.
  6. If you want to cancel the cruise control temporarily, pull the stalk towards you or tap the brakes.
  7. To turn if off, just press the on/off button.
