TAP-UP — This allows you to increase your current speed in
increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h) by a momentary tap of the
SET-ACCEL switch. Multiple taps of the SET-ACCEL switch
will increase your vehicle speed 1 mph (1.6 km/h) for each
tap. For example, if you are currently set at 60 mph
(96 km/h) and tap the SET-ACCEL switch 5 times your
vehicle speed will increase and set at 65 mph (104 km/h).

Driving uphill or on a steep grade
*
[SC11200(ALL)05/95]
When the speed control is on, your vehicle may significantly
drop speed when driving uphill, especially with a heavy load. If
the speed drops more than 8 to 14 mph (15 - 25 km/h) the
automatic speed control will, by design, be canceled. You may
have to temporarily resume manual speed control while driving
up a steep grade in order to maintain the speed you desire.
[SC11300(ALL)05/95]
If the speed control “dropped out” after your climb is
completed, the speed of your light truck can be reset with the
SET ACCEL switch, or returned to the previous set speed with
the RSM switch, as long as you are driving over 30 mph
(50 km/h).
