To decrease speed while the speed control is on, press
and hold the COAST button. Release the button when the
desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set.
To Accelerate For Passing
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
NOTE: When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000
feet (610 meters), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded
the vehicle may slow below the SET speed. If the vehicle
speed drops below (refer to the table below for the speed
for your specific engine), the speed control will automati-
cally disengage. If this happens, you can push down on
the accelerator pedal to maintain the desired speed.
Vehicles equipped with a 6–speed-manual transmission
should be operated in 5th gear or lower under the above
conditions.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the system
can’t maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. An accident could be the result. Don’t use
Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.
