Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Cruise Control Switch Operation
When the main switch is turned on and the vehicle speed is above 20 mph, the cruise control can be set or adjusted at the cruise control switch pad.
Resume - Briefly pressing the resume button will cause the vehicle to accelerate/decelerate to the stored speed value in the cruise control module.
Set/Accelerate/Tip Up - Pressing the set button will engage the cruise system and maintain the vehicle's current speed. Pressing and holding the set button will cause the vehicle to accelerate. When released, the vehicle's current speed will be the set speed.
Tapping the set button will cause the speed to increase by approx. 1 MPH. The number of times the tip feature will function is limited to 8.
Decelerate/Tip-Down - Pressing and holding the decelerate button will cause the vehicle to slow down. When the button is released, the current speed is the new set speed. Tapping the button will cause the vehicle speed to decrease by approx 1 MPH. The number of times the tip feature will function is limited to 8.
OFF - Pressing the off button will disengage the cruise control. The previous set speed is stored in memory until it is overwritten or the vehicle is switched off. In addition to switching off via the cruise control switch on the steering wheel, the system can also be switched off by:
- Depressing the main switch on the instrument panel.
- Applying the brakes.
- Shifting the transmission into neutral.
