Important: Unless the driver has previously set the SET button on the current ignition cycle, R/A will not function.
The Off/On/Resume/Accel Switch has 3 positions. This switch turns the cruise control system on and off. After braking, when the driver momentarily moves the control toward the R/A position, the switch returns cruise control operation to the last speed set. If the driver holds the switch in the R/A position for more than one second, the system reverts to Accel mode.
In order to accelerate the vehicle, move the slider switch to the R/A position. Hold the switch there until the vehicle reaches the desired speed. When the driver releases the slider switch, the current speed becomes the new cruise speed. In order to use the Accel mode, the cruise Off/On/Resume/Accel switch must be in the ON position. Also, the vehicle must be above the low speed lockout of 40 km/h (25 mph).
The driver also may use the slide switch in order to "tap-up" the vehicle speed. Complete the following steps:
"Tap-up" is a function in which cruise speed may be increased by 0.62 km/h (1 mph) increments (one tap = 1 mph) increase.
In order to use the Set/Coast function, observe the following notes:
• | The vehicle speed must exceed the low speed lockout point of 40 km/h (25 mph). |
• | The Off/On/Resume/Accel Switch must be in the ON position. |
The cruise control Set/Coast Switch (located in the end of the turn signal lever) has two positions:
• | Normal |
• | Depressed |
Depress and release the button switch. The cruise speed will set at the current speed of the vehicle. Cruise speed will be within 0.62 km/h (1 mph) of the vehicle's actual speed when the cruise control was engaged. (NOTE: The driver may no longer set the cruise with the RESUME button.) The system will cruise at the set speed until the driver does one of the following:
When the driver presses the brake or the clutch pedal, the cruise is released, but not the resume capability.
With the button switch fully depressed, the driver may raise or lower his cruise speed. Complete the following steps in order to increase the cruise speed:
When the button is released, a new speed is set. The driver may also set an increased cruise speed by the Off/On/Resume/Accel Switch as previously described.
Complete the following stepa in order to decrease the cruise speed:
In order to "tap-down":
"Tap-down" is a function in which cruise speed may be decreased by 0.62 km/h (1 mph) increments (one tap = 1 mph) decrease. The system can "tap-down" until it reaches the low speed lockout point of 40 km/h (25 mph), after which the cruise will not operate.
The driver may depress the accelerator at any time in order to override the cruise system. When you release the accelerator, the vehicle will return to the previously set cruise speed.
