Driver Controls

when you press the ON position. This
control just activates / deactivates
the feature. When the OFF position

OFF.

desired speed. When parked, used to

Cruise Control
The cruise control systems for all electronic engines function in
a very similar manner. The biggest difference is the minimum
and maximum allowable cruise control speeds that will vary from
vehicle to vehicle.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and / or death, or
damage to property, do not use the cruise control
system when unpredictable driving conditions
are present.
Such conditions include heavy
traffic and / or roads that are winding, icy, snow
covered, slippery, wet, or with a loose surface.
These conditions may cause wheel slippage and
loss of vehicle control.
Basic Functions of Steering Wheel Controls
The CRUISE / THROTTLE - ON / OFF control turns the
speed control feature ON or OFF. Engine speed does not
change when you press the ON position.
This control just
activates/deactivates the feature. When the OFF position is
pressed, the system will be turned OFF.
The left-side CRUISE / THROTTLE switch has different labels,
depending on which feature was ordered. However, they all
perform the same function: to turn ON the basic feature.
The two available options are:
• Throttle - used when only throttle or an engine speed
control is ordered;
• Cruise / Throttle - used when cruise control and either a
hand throttle or an engine speed control are ordered.
The right switch (SET / COAST - RESUME / ACCEL) actually
sets and controls the engine speed. However, if the left switch
has not been activated, nothing will happen when pushing on this
right switch. This switch has the same label in all applications.
Operational Procedures
The following steps will activate and enable each of the four
engine speed control features.
Cruise Control – operates like an automotive cruise control.
1. Press the ON position of the CRUISE / THROTTLE - ON
/ OFF steering wheel control.
