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 Release Switch
- Insert the release switch (1) into the retainer until the switch is fully seated against the brake pedal arm. See Fig 1.
- Twist the switch in order to lock the switch into position.
Measure the distance from the end of the barrel on the switch to the pedal arm. Ensure that the clearance is about 1/16" (1.5-1.7 mm). If the distance is not correct, perform previous steps again.
The following pedal travel statement may be used in order to inspect for proper adjustment of the release switch:
- Release switch assembly must be closed at 1/8-1/2" (3.5-12.5 mm) brake pedal travel, measured at the centerline of the brake pedal assembly.
- Nominal actuation of the release assembly contacts is about 3/16" (4.5 mm).
