Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

General

CAUTION: Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads, steeply graded roads, or in heavy traffic of heavy or varying volume. Failure to follow these CAUTIONS could possibly cause you to loose control of the vehicle and result in damage to the vehicle and personal injury.

Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions. Steep grades up or down may cause variations in the selected speeds. The cruise control system has the following capabilities:
^ Cruise
^ Coast
^ Resume Speed
^ Accelerate
^ Tap-Up
^ Tap-Down

The cruise control system consists of the following main components:
^ The multi-function turn signal lever
The multi-function turn signal lever includes an ON-OFF-R/A switch and a SET/COAST switch
^ The cruise control module
^ The cruise control cable
^ The vehicle speed sensor
^ The cruise control release switch
The cruise control switch disengages the cruise system.
^ The stoplamp switch
The stoplamp switch disengages the cruise system.

The cruise control release and the stoplamp switches are mounted on the brake pedal bracket. When the brake pedal is depressed, the cruise control system is electrically disengaged by these switches. The throttle returns to the idle position.
