Default Anyone else not know this?
OK, I'm a slow learner, sometimes. After a year and a half I discovered something with cruise control (and yes, I then found it in the owner's manual). Once you set cruise control, you can raise or lower your speed in 1 mph increments. Simply press the RES/+ or SET/- button, your current CC speed is displayed on the screen. Then press the + or - to raise/lower that speed in 1 mph increments.

Most cruise controls in most cars have been that way for years.

Yep, but don’t sweat it, if that’s the worst thing that happens to you in the next month, you should be grateful. Don

Yes, And by years, I think at least 25 as far as I'm recalling. But now the OP has a new feature to play with, so its all good

Your car has cruise control? Geez, I wish I'd have known that I could have ordered it on my '15.

What did you think the + and - were for


Glad you figured it out though, it's a nice feature.

I knew you could push and hold the buttons to speed up or slow down, just didn't know you could just bump the button and move up or down 1 mph.

I actually remember that feature on my dad's 1985 Pontiac 6000, and it was probably on GM cars long before that even.
