To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Electronic Speed Control ON. When
the vehicle has reached the desired speed,
press the SET (-) button and release. Release
the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at
the selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady
speed and on level ground before pressing
the SET button.
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the
CANCEL button, or normal brake pressure
while slowing the vehicle will deactivate Elec-
tronic Speed Control without erasing the set
speed memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or
turning the ignition switch OFF erases the set
speed memory.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES (+) button and release. Resume can be
used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
To Vary The Speed Setting
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you
can increase speed by pushing the RES (+)
button. If the button is continually pressed, the
set speed will continue to increase until the
button is released, then the new set speed will
be established.
Pressing the RES (+) button once will result in a
1 mph (1.6 km/h) increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an
increase of 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To decrease speed while the Electronic Speed
Control is set, push the SET (-) button. If the
button is continually held in the SET (-) position,
the set speed will continue to decrease until the
button is released. Release the button when the
desired speed is reached, and the new set
speed will be established.
Pressing the SET (-) button once will result in a
1 mph (1.6 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a de-
crease of 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control system main-
tains speed up and down hills. A slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without
Electronic Speed Control.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous
where the system cannot maintain a constant
speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
