Functional Check

Use this procedure to check the operating modes of the cruise control system. Always use this procedure after repair work has been completed on the cruise system.

1. Slide the turn signal lever cruise switch to the "ON" position.
2. Check the Low Speed Inhibit: Drive the vehicle at 32 km/h (20 mph). Depress "SET" push button and release. Cruise control must not engage.
3. Check Set Speed: Drive the vehicle at a steady speed of 89 km/h (55 mph). Depress the "SET" push button completely and release. Cruise control should engage at approximately 89 km/h (55 mph).
4. Check Brake Release: Depress the brake pedal. The cruise control must release the throttle, allowing the vehicle speed to drop. The system must not re-engage when the brake is released.
5. Check Resume Feature: With the vehicle speed at approximately 72 km/h (45 mph), slide the cruise switch momentarily (less than 1 second) to the "R/A" position. The vehicle should accelerate to approximately 89 km/h (55 mph).
6. Check Coast Feature: Depress the "SET" push button and hold. Allow the vehicle speed to drop to 80 km/h (50 mph) and release the push button. Cruise control should hold vehicle speed at approximately 80 km/h (50 mph).
7. Check Accelerate Feature: Slide the cruise switch to the "R/A" position and hold. The vehicle speed should begin to increase. Allow the speed to increase to 89 km/h (55 mph) and release switch. The cruise control should hold the vehicle at approximately 89 km/h (55 mph).
8. Check Off Switch: Turn the turn signal lever cruise switch to the "OFF" position. This must disengage the cruise control system.
