Controls and Features Resetting the Speed Control To reset the speed control to a lower speed, use one of the following procedures: s COAST - Press and hold the COAST switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down to the desired speed. s Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, press the SET ACCEL switch and release it immediately. s TAP-DOWN - Press and then quickly release the COAST switch. Each time you "tap" the switch, the set speed will decrease by 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Multiple taps will cause the set speed to decrease in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h). For example, if the current set speed is 60 mph (97 km/h) 5 taps of the COAST switch will decrease the vehicle speed and SET it at 55 mph (88 km/h). If vehicle speed is reduced below 30 mph (50 km/h) by any of the above methods, then you must manually accelerate to a speed over 30 mph (50 km/h) and reset the system. To reset the speed control to a higher speed, follow one of these procedures: s ACCEL - Press and hold the SET ACCEL switch. Release the switch when the vehicle has accelerated to the desired speed. s Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, press the SET ACCEL switch and release it immediately. s TAP-UP - Press and then quickly release the SET ACCEL switch. Each time you "tap" the switch, the set speed will increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Multiple taps will cause the set speed to increase in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h). For example, if the current set speed is 55 mph (88 km/h), five taps of the SET ACCEL switch will increase the vehicle speed and set it at 60 mph (97 km/h). 113

Resetting the Speed Control
To reset the speed control to a
lower speed
, use one of the
following procedures:
COAST
— Press and hold the COAST switch. Release the
switch when the vehicle slows down to the desired speed.
Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the
desired speed, press the SET ACCEL switch and release it
immediately.
TAP-DOWN
— Press and then quickly release the COAST
switch. Each time you “tap” the switch, the set speed will
decrease by 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Multiple taps will cause the
set speed to decrease in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
For example, if the current set speed is 60 mph (97 km/h) 5
taps of the COAST switch will decrease the vehicle speed
and SET it at 55 mph (88 km/h).
If vehicle speed is reduced below 30 mph (50 km/h) by any of
the above methods, then you must manually accelerate to a
speed over 30 mph (50 km/h) and reset the system.
To reset the speed control to
a higher speed
, follow one of
these procedures:
ACCEL
— Press and hold the SET ACCEL switch. Release
the switch when the vehicle has accelerated to the desired
speed.
Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the
desired speed, press the SET ACCEL switch and release it
immediately.
TAP-UP
— Press and then quickly release the SET ACCEL
switch. Each time you “tap” the switch, the set speed will
increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Multiple taps will cause the
set speed to increase in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h). For
example, if the current set speed is 55 mph (88 km/h), five
taps of the SET ACCEL switch will increase the vehicle
speed and set it at 60 mph (97 km/h).
