Cruise Control Switches
CAUTION
Do not attempt to shift gears without using the
clutch pedal when the cruise control is engaged.
Failure to follow this precaution will result in a
temporarily uncontrolled increase in engine
speed; transmission damage and gear stripping
could result.
On standard models, cruise control is activated by
two dash switches. See
Fig. 4.17
. On some models,
cruise control can be activated by a button on the
transmission shift knob.

The On/Off Switch—this two-position rocker
switch bears the legend SPD CNTL on the
lower half of the switch. When cruise control is
on, an amber light illuminates in the top part of
the switch.
•
The Set/Resume Switch—this three-position
paddle switch bears the legend RES/ACC
above the paddle and SET/CST below the
paddle.
NOTE: For more information about cruise con-
trol operation, see
Chapter 7
.
Engine Brake Switch, Optional
The engine brake switch controls the degree of en-
gine braking. Normally there are two paddle
switches, a two-position On/Off Switch to activate the
engine brake, and a two-position HI-LO Switch to
control the amount of engine braking.
To turn the two-position On/Off Switch on, raise the
paddle. When the two-position switch is on, an
amber LED (light-emitting diode) illuminates inside
the switch.
To turn the two-position HI-LO Switch on high, raise
the paddle (at the HI-LO icon). To turn the two-
position HI-LO Switch on low, lower the paddle (at
the ENG BRK legend). See
Fig. 4.18
.
A three-position switch is used on MBE900 engines
equipped with both the regular engine brake and the
constant-throttle (decompression) brake. It works the
same as the two-position HI-LO switch, except that
there is a third (off) position when the switch is left at
its normal position.
The engine brake turns off automatically or when the
clutch pedal is pressed. On vehicles without a clutch
pedal, the brake pedal can be used to deactivate the
engine brake. For more information about engine
brake operation, see
Chapter 7
.
When the panel lights are on, the HI-LO icon is back-
lit in amber on the HI-LO switch. On both switches,
