General

Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions. However, steep grades up or down may cause variations in the selected speeds. The cruise control system has the capability to cruise, coast, resume speed, accelerate, "tap-up" and "tap-down."

The main parts of the cruise control system are the turn signal and multifunction switch (consisting of an "OFF ON R/A" and a "SET CRUISE" switch), the cruise control module, the cruise control cable, the vehicle speed sensor, the cruise control release switch and the stoplamp switch.

The cruise control release switch and the stoplamp switch are provided to disengage the cruise system. The switches are mounted on the brake pedal bracket. When the brake pedal is pressed, the cruise control system is electrically disengaged by these switches and the throttle is returned to the idle position.


CAUTION: Do not use cruise control on winding or slippery roads or in heavy traffic. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause wheel spinning, and loss of vehicle control.
