ROAD TESTING THE CRUISE CONTROL
Be sure to fully test all functions of your new cruise control on a level surface away from predestrian and vehicle
traffic. While travelling 35 M.P.H. turn switch on , then press Set button. Unit will engage when Set button is
released. To disengage, tap on brake or turn switch off - cruise will disengage. Follow same procedure at 45
M.P.H. and at 55 M.P.H. If unit is inoperative, open cover on cruise and look at the L.E.D. Press Set button,
L.E.D. should light. Press Resume button, L.E.D. should light.Step on the brake, L.E.D. should light. If L.E.D.
does not light then check wiring. If the vehicle’s speed drops considerably when travelling up hills, you may
need the optional vacuum booster canister. Call 1 - 800 - 225 - 6074 for additional assistance.
ON / OFF : Move the ON / OFF switch to the ON position. Nothing will happen, as this simply prepares the
system for operation.
Each time the ignition switch or the cruise control switch is turned OFF, the system is de - energized. To re-
energize the system, the ignition switch must be turned on, and the cruise control switch must be moved to
the ON position. The cruise control switch can be left On at all times without causing any damage to the system.
SET SPEED : After turning the system On, wait at least 3 seconds before attempting to set your speed. To
operate the system, drive the car at a steady speed above 35 M.P.H.
Press the SET / COAST switch and release it, then slowly remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Your
SET SPEED is now programmed into the cruise control’s memory, and your driving speed should remain within
2 M.P.H. of your set speed.
If you want to increase your speed, simply press on the accelerator pedal. When you release the pedal, you
will return to your original SET SPEED.
ACCEL : You can increase your SET SPEED using the RESUME / ACCEL feature. Your vehicle will accelerate
as you hold this switch to the RESUME / ACCEL position. When you release the switch, your SET SPEED will
be re - programmed to the present speed of the vehicle.
TAP UP : You can also increase your SET SPEED gradually by quickly pressing and releasing the RESUME/
ACCEL switch. Each time you press and release the switch, your speed will increase by approximately 1/2
M.P.H.
TAP DOWN : You can also decrease your SET SPEED gradually by quickly pressing and releasing the SET/
COAST switch. Each time you press and release the switch, your speed will decrease by approximately
1/2 M.P.H.
COAST : To reduce your SET SPEED, press and hold the SET / COAST button. This erases the previously
programmed SET SPEED, and allows the vehicle to coast. Just before slowing to the speed you want, release
the button. Your present speed will be re - programmed as the new SET SPEED, providing the vehicle is
traveling faster than 35 M.P.H.
RESUME : Whenever you use the brake pedal to slow or stop the vehicle, the cruise control will disengage
but retain the programmed SET SPEED. To return to the SET SPEED, accelerate to a speed above 35 M.P.H.,
then press and release the RESUME / ACCEL switch. The vehicle will automatically accelerate to the
programmed SET SPEED, and hold that speed.
When using the RESUME feature with standard transmission, you should be in the correct gear for your SET
SPEED.
DISENGAGE : You can disengage from the SET SPEED in two or three ways, depending on the type of
transmission ( manual or automatic ) in the vehicle.
- Gently tap the brake pedal to activate the brake lights.
- Turn the control switch to the OFF position.
- For manual transmissions, depress the clutch. This will cause the engine to rev slightly before disengaging.
