The button on the cruise control stalk is the master switch. Pushing it will turn on the cruise control, but you still need to set your cruising speed before it takes effect. [I believe it does not activate below 40MPH - someone correct me if I'm wrong]. To activate, you need to be at a speed above the minimum threshold, then pull the stalk down. You will feel the car continue to move at the speed you were at even when you take your foot off the gas pedal. To deactivate, you can either tap the brake, pull the stalk towards you, or hit the master switch button to turn off cruise.
While in cruise, pushing the stalk up will increase your speed by 1MPH for every stroke and pulling it down will decrease by 1MPH. Moving and holding the stalk up or down will make the car continue to slowly accelerate or decelerate until you let go.
Finally, If you had previously set a cruise speed but had to leave cruise, you can push up on the stalk to resume your previously set cruise speed. If you push the button to turn off cruise, it will forget all past settings and you will have to reset your cruise speed again.
Hope this helps.
