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.
Speed Control Systems - Automatic: Operation
This system is designed to operate at speeds above 30 MPH. "CRUISE" switch must be in "ON" position to activate speed control system. Driver accelerates to desired speed, then partially depresses and slowly releases speed control "SET-COAST" switch button.
To change speed setting to higher speed, depress accelerator until desired speed is reached, then fully depress and slowly release "SET-COAST" switch.
To change speed setting to lower speed, depress "SET-COAST" switch fully. Hold in this position until vehicle has decelerated to new desired speed setting. Then, release "SET-COAST" switch slowly to re-engage speed control.
Speed control system is disengaged by applying brakes. To accelerate vehicle to previously set speed in memory, slide "CRUISE" switch to "RESUME" position.
Accelerator pedal may be depressed at any time to override speed control system. Release of accelerator returns speed to previous level. Sliding "SET-COAST" switch to "OFF" position or turning ignition "OFF" will also disengage the system and erase the "RESUME" memory.
