Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation

Cruise Control:

Cruise main switch
The SMCC system is engaged by pressing "CRUISE" button. Releasing "CRUISE" button releases throttle, clears cruise memory speed, and puts vehicle in a non- cruise mode.

Set/Coast switch
The SET/COAST switch located on lower steering wheel has two positions- "Normal" and "Depressed". The set position: When the SET/COAST switch pressed and released, the cruise speed will be set at the speed the vehicle was going when SET/COAST switch was released.

The coast position: With the SET/COAST switch fully depressed, the driver can lower the set cruise speed. To decrease cruise speed, the set/coast switch is depressed, disengaging cruise control system. When the vehicle has slowed to the desired cruise speed, releasing SET/COAST switch will re-engage speed at new selected speed.
