ABOUT THE Dakota Digital Cruise Control
The performance of the Cruise Control is dependent upon the condition of the engine, its size and even by the type of
emission control equipment it has. Driving at higher altitudes will have an effect on Cruise
Control’s performance.
Under normal conditions and with proper switch settings, speed should be controlled within plus or minus 3 KPH (1-1/2
MPH). There may be situations; however, which make it seem as if the Cruise Control is not capable of functioning
accurately, such as an extra heavy load, a very steep hill, or a severe headwind.
CAUTION: Do not use the Cruise Control on a slippery road or in heavy traffic.
CAUTION: (Manual Transmission) While driving with the Cruise Control ON, do not shift to neutral without depressing
the clutch pedal, as this may cause engine racing or overreving. If this happens, depress the clutch pedal or turn OFF
the main Cruise Control Switch immediately.
