Cruise Control Systems: Operation

This system is operational at speeds over 30 MPH. When "ON-OFF" switch is actuated to "ON" position and "SET-ACCEL" switch is activated, the vehicle speed will be maintained until a new speed is set, the brake pedal is depressed, the clutch pedal is depressed (man. trans.), or the system is turned off.

The clutch position sensor switch (man. trans.) disengages the speed control, preventing engine over-speed when the clutch pedal is depressed.

To decrease set speed, apply brake and reset speed, using the preceding method, or depress the "COAST" switch. When the vehicle has slowed to the desired speed, release switch. The new speed is set into system.

To increase set speed, accelerate until desired speed is reached, then depress and release the "SET-ACCEL" switch. Speed may also be increased by depressing "SET-ACCEL" switch and holding in that position while vehicle automatically increases in speed.

When desired speed is reached, release switch and new speed will be set into system. When the speed control system is deactivated by depressing brake pedal, vehicle speed before system deactivation may be resumed by depressing "RESUME" switch.

Speed control memory of vehicle speed and "RESUME" switch will not function, however, if "OFF" switch is depressed, if ignition is turned off, or if vehicle speed drops below 30 MPH.
