Cruise Control: Description and Operation

This Speed Control System is electrically actuated and vacuum operated. The control lever on the steering column incorporates a slide switch which has three positions, "Off," "On" and "Resume." 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. By 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 also erases the speed memory.
