vehicle slow down to the desired speed and
release the COAST switch.
*
[SC09750( ALL)10/94]
Your vehicle has a ªtap-downº feature that
allows you to decrease your current speed in
increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h) by a
momentary tap of the COAST switch. Multiple
taps of the COAST switch will decrease your
vehicle speed 1 mph (1.6 km/h) for each tap.
For example, if you are currently set at 65 mph
(104 km/h) and tap the COAST switch 5 times
your vehicle speed will decrease and set at
60 mph (96 km/h).

When the speed control is on, your vehicle may
significantly drop speed when driving uphill,
especially with a heavy load. If the speed drops
more than 8 to 14 mph (15 - 25 km/h) the
automatic speed control will, by design, be
canceled. You may have to temporarily resume
manual speed control while driving up a steep
grade in order to maintain the speed you desire.

Circuit Breakers
[SV44250( M)10/92]
If you need to check a circuit breaker that is on
the fuse panel, locate the circuit breaker
according to the instructions on the charts given
earlier in this chapter.
*
[SV44300( ALL)02/95]
Since you need diagnostic equipment to check
whether a circuit breaker works and such
equipment comes with instructions, we do not
discuss how to check circuit breakers.
*
[SV44400( ALL)10/92]
However, you should know that the circuit
breakers will reset themselves and allow the
electrical parts to work again once the overload
on the circuit is removed. If the circuit breakers
continue to cut off electricity, have your vehicle's
electrical system checked.
*
[SV44500( ALL)02/95]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker mounted in the fuse panel, grip it with
your finger and thumb and pull it straight out
of its socket.
