To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, press and release the
RES·ACCEL button. Resume can be used at any speed
above 30 mph (48 km/h).
To Vary the Speed Setting
When the Speed Control is ON, speed can be increased
by pressing and holding the RES·ACCEL button. When
the button is released, a new set speed will be estab-
lished.
Tapping the RES·ACCEL button once will result in a 2
mph (3 km/h) speed increase. Each time the button is
tapped, speed increases, so tapping the button three
times will increase speed by 6 mph (10 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while Speed Control is ON and SET,
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
(especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the
SET speed. If the vehicle speed drops below 30 mph (48
km/h), the Speed Control will automatically disengage.
If this happens, you can push down on the accelerator
pedal to maintain the desired speed.
Vehicles may exhibit several 4-3 downshifts under the
above conditions. To reduce the frequency of the down-
shifts and to improve vehicle performance, it is advisable
to lock out overdrive. Press the O/D OFF button on the
side of the shift lever.
