To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, or pulling the Electronic
Speed Control lever toward you (cancel), or normal brake
or clutch pressure while slowing the vehicle will deacti-
vate the speed control without erasing the set speed from
memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or turning off the
ignition erases the set speed from memory.
NOTE:For vehicles equipped with a manual transmis-
sion, pressing the clutch pedal will disengage the speed
control. A slight increase in engine RPM before the
Electronic Speed Control disengages is normal.
To Resume Speed
If you deactivated the Electronic Speed Control without
erasing the set speed from memory and your vehicle
speed is above 20 mph (32 km/h) you can resume the
previous set speed. To do so, push the lever up and
release (RESUME ACCEL), and then remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal.
To Vary the Speed Setting
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can in-
crease speed by pushing up and holding the RESUME
ACCEL lever. If the lever is continually held in the
RESUME ACCEL position, the set speed will continue to
increase in 5 mph (10 km/h) increments until the lever is
released. Release the lever when the desired speed is
reached and the new set speed will be established.
Tapping RESUME ACCEL once will result i na1mph
(2 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped,
speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will
increase speed by 3 mph (5 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while the Electronic Speed Control is
set, push down and hold the SET DECEL lever. If the
lever is continually held in the SET DECEL position, the
set speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph (10 km/h)
increments until the lever is released. Release the lever
when the desired speed is reached, and the new set speed
will be established.
