Speed Control Systems - Automatic: Operation: Notes

Auto-Cruise control is an integral part of directional switch lever and consists of two separate switches. The first "OFF-ON" and "RES" (resume) slide switch located on the flat of directional switch lever. Second is a push button switch located at the end of directional switch lever. To engage system, move slide switch to "ON" position and accelerate to desired speed. Depress and release button on end of switch lever. System will automatically disengage when brake pedal is depressed and can be re-engaged to previously selected speed by accelerating to 30 MPH and moving slide switch to "RES" position, then releasing switch.

NOTE: When slide switch is moved to "OFF" position, preset speed of "RES" function is cancelled and must be reset when system is reactivated.

A higher speed can be set by pressing on accelerator pedal until new speed is reached and then pushing control button. A lower speed can be achieved by lightly depressing brake pedal allowing vehicle to slow to desired speed and then depressing push button. The same effect can be achieved by moving slide switch to "OFF" causing vehicle to slow down. When desired speed is reached, move switch to "RESUME" position. To accelerate for passing, depress accelerator and when passing is completed, remove foot from accelerator and speed will decrease to former level. Operation of individual components is as follows:
