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.
This vehicle is equipped with
the Electro-Motor Cruise System. This system is designed to automatically
maintain a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions. The system
has 6 modes:
The cruise control system consists of the following components:
• | The multifunction lever |
• | The cruise control module |
• | The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) |
• | The vehicle control module (VCM) |
• | The brake release switch |
The cruise control module contains an electronic controller and an electronic
stepper motor. The controller monitors the vehicle speed and operates the
stepper motor. The controller responds to signals from the multifunction
switch, located on the turn signal lever. The stepper motor maintains
the desired vehicle speed by means of a band and throttle linkage
that moves in response to the controller.
The cruise control module contains a low speed limit that prevents the
system from engaging at lower than about 40 km/h (25 mph).
When you depress the brake pedal, a release switch, mounted to the brake
pedal bracket, disengages the system. The throttle then returns to the idle
position.
