vehicle speed sensor, ECM and ETS motor that connect throttle body.
PCM contains a low speed limit which will prevent system engagement below a minimum speed of 40km/h (25mph).
The operation of the controller is controlled by mode control switches located on steering wheel.
Transaxle range switch and brake switch are provided to disengage the cruise control system. The switches are on
brake pedal bracket and transaxle. When the brake pedal is depressed or select lever shifted, the cruise control
system is electrically disengaged and the throttle is returned to the idle position.

Cruise main switch

Cruise control system is engaged by pressing "ON/OFF" push button. Releasing "ON/OFF" push button release
throttle, clears cruise memory speed, and puts vehicle in a non-cruise mode.

Coast/Set switch

COAST/SET switch located on right of steering wheel column has two positions - "Normal" and "Depressed". The set
position - With COAST/SET switch depressed and then released the cruise speed will be set at the speed the vehicle
was going when COAST/SET switch was released. The coast position - With COAST/SET switch fully depressed,
driver can lower cruise speed. To decrease cruise speed, COAST/SET switch is held in, disengaging cruise control
system. When vehicle has slowed to required cruise speed, releasing COAST/SET switch will re-engage system at
new selected speed.
The tab down - To lower vehicle speed, cruise must be engaged and operating. Tab down is done by quickly pressing
and releasing COAST/SET switch. Do not hold COAST/SET switch in depressed position.
Tab down is a function in which vehicle speed is decrease by 1 mph (1.6km/h)

Resume/Accel switch

RES/ACCEL switch located on right of steering wheel column has two positions - "Normal" and "Depressed".
The resume position - With RES/ACCEL switch depressed and then release, this switch also returns cruise control
operation to last speed (Which is temporarily disengaged by Cancel switch or Brake pedal), setting when momentarily
operating RES/ACCEL switch by constant acceleration.
The accel position - With RES/ACCEL switch depressed and held in, disengaging cruise control system, when vehicle
has accelerated to required cruise speed, releasing RES/ACCEL switch will re-engage speed at new selected speed.
The tab up - To increase vehicle speed, the cruise must be engaged and operating.
Tab up is done by quickly pressing and releasing RES/ACCEL switch less than 0.5 second. Do not hold RES/ACCEL
switch in depressed position. Tab up is a function in which cruise speed can be increased by 1mph (1.6km/h).

Cancel switch

Cruise control system is temporarily disengaged by pressing "CANCEL" switch.
Cruise speed canceled by this switch will be recovered by RES/ACCEL switch
