Cruise Control: Description and Operation

This Speed Control System is electrically actuated and vacuum operated. The control lever on the steering column incorporates a slide switch which has three positions "Off," "On" and "Resume." The "Set" button is located at the end of the three position lever. This system is designed to operate at speeds above 30 mph.
To engage the speed control system, attain desired speed, then depress set button. Speed will be maintained at this level. Moving slide switch from "Off" to "On," while operating the vehicle establishes memory without system engagement.
To disengage speed control, a normal brake application or soft tap on the brake pedal will disengage system, without erasing the memory. Moving the slide switch to "Off" also disengages the system and erases the speed memory.
