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
Cruise control switch is located on the multifunction switch, which also serves as turn signal lever and exterior light switch. Cruise control switch consists of a SET button and a sliding switch with OFF, ON and RESUME/ACCEL (R/A) positions. Switch functions are as follows:
- OFF
System disengages when switch is turned off. - ON
System is ready to be set when switch is turned on. - RESUME/ACCEL (R/A)
Spring-loaded R/A switch will not initially set cruise speed, but when cruise control has been disengaged by braking, momentarily sliding switch to R/A position will cause cruise control to resume previously set speed. This is the resume function. Accelerate function occurs when switch is held in R/A position. This causes the vehicle to accelerate until switch is released. When released, system maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-up" in one MPH increments. - SET
Spring-loaded SET button engages cruise control. During engagement, if SET button is pressed and held, vehicle decelerates (cruise control disengages) until button is released. When button is released, cruise control engages and maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this button, the set speed is "tapped-down" in one MPH decrements.
