Description & Operation

The cruise control system allows driver to maintain a constant cruising speed greater than 25 MPH without using accelerator pedal. Accelerate to desired speed and hold cruise control switch forward in ACCEL position. This sets the cruising speed and stores it in memory. Pushing cruise control switch forward again will increase the previous set speed until the switch is released. Pulling back on cruise control switch will reduce set speed until switch is released. New set speed will be maintained.

Cruise control system will disengage temporarily when the brake or clutch pedal (if equipped) is pushed down. To cancel set speed without erasing memorized speed, move cruise control lever down. To reactivate system, move cruise control switch up to recall previous speed. The vehicle will automatically accelerate to the previous set speed. To erase set speed from memory, turn ignition off.

WARNING: DO NOT shift into Neutral when cruise control system is switched on.
