OPERATION
When speed control operation is selected by the
speed control switch, the ECM (Engine Control Mod-
ule) allows a set speed to be stored in its RAM for
speed control. To store a set speed, press either of the
SET switch functions while the vehicle is moving,
and above 25 mph (40 km/h). In order for the speed
control to engage, the brakes cannot be applied, nor
can the gear selector be indicating the transmission
is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal²Pressing the speed control switch to OFF
²Depressing the clutch pedal (if equipped).
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the
ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in
the ECM.
For added safety, the speed control system is pro-
grammed to disengage for any of the following condi-
tions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²A rapid increase rpm (indicates that the clutch
has been disengaged)
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the coefficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²The speed signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the RES/ACCEL switch (when speed is
greater than 30 mph) restores the vehicle to the tar-
get speed that was stored in the ECM.
While the speed control is engaged, the driver can
increase the vehicle speed by depressing the RES/AC-
CEL switch. The new target speed is stored in the
ECM when the RES/ACCEL is released. The PCM
also has a ªtap-upº feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph for each
momentary switch activation of the RES/ACCEL
switch.
A ªtap downº feature is used to decelerate without
disengaging the speed control system. To decelerate
from an existing recorded target speed, momentarily
depress the COAST switch. For each switch activa-
tion, speed will be lowered approximately 1 mph.
