ONTROL
The cruise control is part of the DDEC IV control
that will maintain a set speed when the vehicle is
traveling above 20 mph (32 km/h).
Warning :
Do not use the cruise control when
driving speed must be constantly adjusted, such
as in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snow-
covered or slippery roads, or on gravel roads.
Warning
:
Do not put the transmission in the
neutral (N) position while driving with cruise
control. This will cause the engine to over-speed
and may result in a loss of driving control.
Setting Coach Speed
Depress the CRUISE rocker switch and
accelerate the motorcoach to the desired cruising
speed. Depress and release the
SET
switch then
remove foot from the accelerator pedal. This will
set the vehicle cruise speed and store it in
memory.
Note :
The
CRUISE CONTROL
and
RESUME switch do not operate at speeds below
20 mph (32 km/h).
Increasing Set Speed
The motorcoach cruise speed setting can be
increased by one of the following methods:
a) With the accelerator pedal and the SET
switch, accelerate the motorcoach using the
accelerator pedal until the desired cruising
speed is reached. Depress and release the
SET switch.
b) Depress and hold the RESUME switch until
the desired cruising speed is reached. When
the RESUME switch is released, the new
cruising speed will be stored in the cruise
control memory. The RESUME switch does
not operate at speeds below 20 mph
(32 km/h).
Note :
When driving with cruise control, the
vehicle can still be accelerated by depressing the
accelerator pedal in the usual manner. Once the
accelerator pedal is released, the motorcoach will
return to the previously set cruising speed.
