Default cruise control

ok so I am an idiot...lol just getting that out...Can someone tell me exactly how I work the cruise control in my car. It is a 1988 Mustang....So like when I am driving and lets say I want the speed at 100 km/h....do I hit on and then set accel, or do I have to hold both at the same time? Also what does the resume and coast do...pretty stupid questions I know lol

Thanks

Wow dude.

Yeah, hit on first, let go, then hit set/accel.

If you hit the brakes it will disengage cruise, but it will still be on in that you can hit resume to go back to your former speed.

Coast lets the car slow down by not giving it any gas. When you let go of coast the cruise will engage again at whatever speed you slowed down to.
