Cruise Control Functional Switches

The cruise control main switch (CRUISE button) is located on instrument panel. Cruise control functional switches are located on steering wheel. Functional switches include a RES/ACCEL (resume/accelerate) switch, CLEAR switch and a SET/COAST switch. Switch functions are described as follows:

1. CRUISE
   
   System is ready to be set when switch is turned on by pressing button. System disengages when switch is turned off by pressing button again.
2. CLEAR
   
   When CLEAR button is pressed, cruise control system will stop operating. Previously set cruise speed will remain in cruise control module memory as long as cruise control system is not turned off. Pressing SET/COAST switch or RES/ACCEL switch will resume cruise control system operation.
3. SET/COAST
   
   Spring-loaded SET/COAST switch engages cruise. During engagement, if SET/COAST switch is pressed and held, vehicle decelerates (cruise disengages) until switch is released. When switch is released, cruise engages and maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-down" in one MPH increments.
4. RES/ACCEL (Resume/Accelerate)
   
   Spring-loaded RES/ACCEL switch will not initially set cruise speed, but when cruise has been disengaged by braking, momentarily pressing this switch will cause cruise to resume previously set speed. This is the resume function. Accelerate function occurs when RES/ACCEL switch is held in position for more than one second. This causes the vehicle to accelerate until switch is released. When released, system maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-up" in one MPH increments.
