Multi-Function Turn Signal Lever

OFF-ON-R/A SWITCH

OFF-ON-R/A Switch:




The OFF-ON-R/A switch has the following 3 positions:
^ The ON position
The ON position turns the cruise control system ON.
^ The OFF position
The OFF position turns the cruise control system OFF.
^ The R/A position
The R/A switch position has the following 3 main functions:

- Resume
The system will enter the resume mode when the OFF-ON-R/A switch is held in the R/A (Resume/Accelerate) position momentarily. The vehicle speed must exceed 40 km/h (25 mph) at the time of activation in order for the cruise control operation to return to the last cruise speed setting.
- Accelerate
The system will enter the accelerate mode when the OFF-ON-R/A switch is held in the R/A position for more than one second. To increase the cruise speed, the vehicle must be traveling at least 40 km/h (25 mph) and the ON-OFF-R/A switch held in the R/A position until the vehicle reaches the desired cruise speed.
The system will maintain the new cruise speed when the OFF-ON-R/A switch is released to the ON position.
- Tap-Up
This function increases the cruise speed by increments of 2 km/h (1 mph). One tap equals a 2 km/h (1 mph) increase. The cruise must be engaged and operating in order to use this function.
Press the OFF-ON-R/A switch toward the R/A position and release quickly or tap the lever in order to operate the tap-up function. Do not hold the lever in the R/A position or the system will go into the accelerate mode.

SET/CRUISE BUTTON SWITCH
The cruise control SET/CRUISE button switch is located in the end of the multi-function turn signal lever. The SET/CRUISE button switch has the following 3 main functions:
^ Set
^ Coast
^ Tap-Down

The cruise speed sets when the following actions occur:
^ The SET/CRUISE button switch is depressed and released.
^ The OFF-ON-R/A switch is in the ON position.
^ The vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h (25 mph).

The cruise speed sets at the speed at which the vehicle is travelling when the button is released. The cruise speed will be within 2 km/h (1 mph) of the engaged speed.

The system will cruise until one of the following actions occurs:
^ The OFF-ON-R/A switch is moved to the OFF position.
^ The brake pedal is pressed.
^ The ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.

The driver can decrease the cruise speed by completing the following actions:
^ Fully depress and hold the SET/CRUISE button switch. This action disengages the cruise system and allows the throttle to return to the idle position.
^ When the vehicle slows to the desired cruise speed, release the SET/CRUISE button switch. This action will set the new cruise speed.

The tap-down function permits the driver to decrease the cruise speed in increments of 2 km/h (1 mph). One tap equals a 2 km/h (1 mph) decrease. The cruise must be engaged and operating in order to use this function.

Press and quickly release or tap the SET/CRUISE button switch in order to operate the tap-down function. Holding the SET/CRUISE button inward will cause the system to go into the CRUISE mode.

Press the accelerator at any time in order to override the cruise system. The vehicle will return to the last set cruise speed after the accelerator is released.
