Set/Coast Switch

The cruise control Set/Coast Switch (located in the end of the turn signal lever) has two positions "Normal" and "Depressed".

The Set Position: With the button switch depressed and then released (vehicle speed must exceed the low speed lockout point, and the Off/On/Resume/Accel Switch must he in the ON position) the cruise speed will be set at the particular speed the vehicle was at when the button was released. Vehicle cruise speed will be within .62 km/h (1 mph) of the actual speed when engaged. The system will cruise until either the Off/On/Resume/Accel Switch is moved to OFF, the ignition switch is turned off, and/or the Set/Coast Button is pushed in fully and held. Pushing the brake pedal (or clutch pedal) releases the cruise but not the resume capability.

The Coast Position: With the button switch fully depressed, the driver can raise or lower his control speed. To increase control speed, the driver would accelerate to a new speed, fully depress the switch (controller releases previously set speed) and release the button. Upon releasing the button a new speed is set. An increased control speed can also be more easily set by the Off/On/Resume/Accel Switch as previously described. To decrease cruise speed, the button switch is held in (depressed position) disengaging the cruise system, and allowing the throttle to return to the idle position. When the vehicle has slowed to the desired lower cruise speed, releasing the switch will re-engage the system at the lower speed.

The "Tap-Down" Position: In order to do this the cruise must be engaged and operating. "Tapping-down" is done by quickly pressing the Set/Coast Button to the depressed position and quickly releasing it, or "tap" the button. Do not hold the button in the depressed position or the system will revert to the "coast" mode. "Tap-down" is a function in which cruise speed can be decreased by .62 km/h (1 mph) increments (one tap = 1 mph decrease). The system can "tap-down" until it reaches the low speed lockout 40 km/h (25 mph), after this cruise will not operate.

The accelerator may be depressed at any time to override the cruise system. Release of the accelerator will return the vehicle to the previously set cruise speed.

NOTICE: To keep the vehicle under control, and to prevent possible vehicle damaged, it is not advisable to use the cruise control on slippery roads. It is recommended not to use the cruise control in conditions such as on winding roads or in traffic of heavy or varying volume.
