General Information

This Speed Control System is electrically controlled and vacuum operated. The control lever on the steering column incorporates a slide switch which has three positions, Off/On, Resume/Accel and Set Decel. The Set button is located at the end of the three position slide switch. The system is designed to operate at speeds exceeding 30 mph.
To engage the speed control when desired speed is achieved, depress and release the Set button to engage the system. Speed will be maintained at this level. Moving the slide switch from Off to On, while vehicle is in motion, establishes memory without system engagement.
To disengage speed control, a normal brake application or soft tap on the brake pedal will disengage system, without erasing speed memory. Moving the slide switch to Off also disengages the system and erases the speed memory.
