Caution: Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads, steeply graded roads, or in heavy traffic of heavy or varying volume. Failure to follow these CAUTIONS could possibly cause you to loose control of the vehicle and result in damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
Once the cruise control has been set at a desired speed with the SET button, the set speed is stored in the controllers memory. If the driver for any reason must apply the brake, the cruise control will disengage. The cruise control may be reset in the following manner:
The vehicle will now accelerate to and resume the previously set speed. If either the ignition switch, or the cruise ON/OFF switch is turned off, you will erase the cruise control memory.
In order to reduce your speed while using the cruise control, perform one of the following steps:
In order to increase speed while using the cruise control, perform one of the following steps:
The accelerate feature will only work after you turn on the cruise control and push the SET button.
Use the accelerator pedal in order to increase your speed. Once the vehicle is a safe distance past the other vehicle, take your foot off of the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will then return to the preset cruise control speed.
How well the cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load, and the incline of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal in order to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to shift to a lower gear or brake in order to keep your speed down. Applying the brake will take you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and choose not to use the cruise control on steep hills.
When you turn off the ignition, or the cruise control ON/OFF switch is turned off, the cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Turn off the cruise control using one of the following steps:
The cruise release (ABS/TCC) switch is a normally closed switch that is mounted on the brake pedal bracket. For adjustment of the cruise release switch (ABS/TCC switch), refer to Cruise Release Switch Adjustment .
The brake switch is a normally open switch that is mounted on the brake pedal bracket.
