Remote Transmitter Replacement

Use the following procedure when replacing one or both

remote transmitters:

1. Open the driver's door.

2. Press and hold the driver's master door lock switch

up in the UNLOCK position.

3. Quickly insert and remove the key from the ignition

switch five times, then insert the key the sixth time,

and leave it in the ignition switch.

(This routine must be done within 10 seconds.)

All the doors will lock and unlock to indicate that

the control unit is in the program mode.

4. Press either button on the replacement transmitter.

All the doors except the driver's door will lock and

unlock to indicate that the control unit has accepted

the transmitter into its memory. If either transmitter

button is pressed again, all the doors will lock and

unlock.

5. To program a second transmitter, press either but-

ton on that transmitter. The doors should lock and

unlock as described in step 4.

6. Release the driver's master door lock switch.

7. To exit the program mode, close the driver's door

or remove the key from the ignition switch.ProCarManuals.com

Cruise Control

Description (cont'd)

The electrically operated actuator controls the throttle position in the same way as a vacuum operated actuator. The mag-

netic clutch is part of the safety system and controls acceleration and deceleration.

DECELERATION

ACCELERATION

ACTUATOR CABLE

Acceleration

Due to the rotation of the motor output shaft, power is transmitted to the magnetic clutch by the transmission gear and

the worm wheel. The magnetic clutch is rotated and magnetized. It attracts the clutch plate and power is transmitted to the

output link by the gear directly connected to the clutch plate and the output gear. The output link rotates clockwise, then

the actuator cable opens the throttle, and the car accelerates.

Deceleration

The motor output shaft rotates in reverse direction of acceleration, then, in the same way, the power is transmitted to the

output link. The output link rotates counterclockwise, then the actuator cable closes the throttle, and the car decelerates.
