ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, Electronic Speed Control takes over the accelerator operation at speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h). The Electronic Speed Control lever is located on the right side of the steering wheel.
Tilt Steering Control
NOTE: In order to ensure proper operation, the Elec- tronic Speed Control System has been designed to shut down if multiple Speed Control functions are operated at the same time. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed Control
System can be reactivated by pushing the Electronic Speed Control ON/OFF button and resetting the desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Push the ON/OFF button. The CRUISE indicator in the instrument cluster will illuminate. To turn the system off, push the ON/OFF button a second time. The CRUISE indicator will turn off. The system should be turned off when not in use.
WARNING! Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have an accident. Always leave the Electronic Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
Electronic Speed Control Lever
To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Electronic Speed Control ON. When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, press down on the Elec- tronic Speed Control lever and release. Release the accel- erator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed.
NOTE: The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed and on level ground before pressing the SET lever.
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pulling the Electronic Speed Control lever toward you CANCEL, normal brak- ing or pressing the clutch pedal while slowing the vehicle will deactivate Electronic Speed Control without erasing the set speed memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or turning the ignition switch OFF erases the set speed memory.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RESUME ACCEL lever up and release. Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
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 until the lever is released, then the new set speed will be established. Tapping the RESUME ACCEL lever once will result in a 1 mph (2 km/h) increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever results in an increase of 1 mph (2 km/h). 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 until the lever is
released. Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new set speed will be established. Pressing the SET DECEL lever once will result in a 1 mph (2 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever results in a decrease of 1 mph (2 km/h).
Manual Transmission
Pressing the clutch pedal will disengage the speed con- trol. A slight increase in engine RPM before the Electronic Speed Control disengages is normal. Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions may need to be shifted into a lower gear to climb hills without speed loss.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills NOTE: The Electronic Speed Control system maintains speed, up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without Electronic Speed Control.
WARNING! Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your ve- hicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control and have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
