Cruise control, doesn't reset.
Hi All,
My issues with cruise control,
When I drive in 35 miles speed zone I engage cruise control and set it to 35 all good.
When I passed the zone I disengage cruise control and accelerated to the higher speed lets say 60. If I engage cruise control now it goes back to 35 (last number) and another way around if I was cruising at 60 and down to 35 and engage cruise control it starts accelerate immediately.
Question is why its not picking up the current speed and keeps it?
Do I need to do something special to archive that?
Thank a a lot for your comments.

Page 199 of the manual:
# To activate cruise control: press rocker switch 2 up (SET+) or down (SET-).
The current speed is stored and maintained by the vehicle.
or
# Press rocker switch 3 up (RES).

60MPH on cruise,
turn off cruise control,
slow down to 35,
turn on cruise control to stay at 35,
Control will accelerate to 60 because it was stored.
I want it to be reset and pickup my current speed when Im turning it On.

The manual is a little obtuse. When you turn it back on by pulling the lever towards you it acts like resume and will attempt return to the last speed. What you need to do is get to the new speed you want (35) and push the lever up. It will then set the speed control to the speed you are going.

Still, I think it would be logical to read the current speed at the time when I pull it towards me. If I pushed it down or used brakes it means Im done with this speed, would be nice. But well, I have a way to get what I need.
Thank you all.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was missing. Instead of pulling towards me I need to push it up. I can do that.
