Speed Control Systems -- Automatic: Operation: Notes
Cruise Command control is an integral part of the directional switch lever and consists of two separate switches. The first is "OFF-ON" and "RES" (resume) slide switch located on the flat of the directional control lever. Second is a push button "SET" switch on the end of the lever. To engage system, move slide switch to "ON" position, accelerate to desired speed (at least 30 MPH) and depress and release "SET" button. System will now maintain speed until brake pedal is depressed or slide switch is moved to "OFF" position. If disengaged by brake pedal, system may be re-engaged to previously selected speed by accelerating to 30 MPH and moving slide switch to "RES" position, then releasing switch.
A higher speed can be set by pressing on accelerator until new speed is reached, then press and release "SET" button. A lower speed can be achieved by depressing "SET" button until car slows to desired speed, then releasing button to maintain new speed. Individual components operate as follows:
