Road Test


CAUTION:
- Do not engage cruise control when the vehicle is being used in low transfer gears.
- The use of cruise control is not recommended on winding, snow covered or slippery roads or in heavy traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot be maintained.

ROAD TEST
1. Start the engine and depress the main control switch to actuate the cruise control system. Accelerate to approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and operate the set/acc switch, immediately release the switch, remove the foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle should maintain the speed at which the set/acc switch was operated.

2. Operate the set/acc switch and hold at that position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly until the switch is released. The vehicle should now maintain the new speed at which the set/acc switch was released.

3. Apply the res/decel switch while vehicle is in cruise control mode, the cruise control should disengage. Slow to approximately 35 mph (55 km/h), operate the res/decel switch, immediately release the switch and remove the foot from the accelerator, the vehicle should smoothly accelerate to the previously set speed. Increase the speed using the accelerator pedal and release the pedal, the vehicle should return to the previously set

4. Operate the brake pedal, the cruise control system should immediately disengage returning the vehicle to driver control at the accelerator pedal. Operate res/decel switch, vehicle should accelerate to previously memorized set speed without driver operation of the accelerator pedal.

5. Operate res/decel switch and allow vehicle to decelerate to below 26 mph (42 km/h). Operate res/decel switch, cruise control system should remain disengaged.

6. Operate the set/acc switch below 28 mph (45 km/h), the cruise control system should remain disengaged. Accelerate, using the accelerator pedal to above 28 mph (45 km/h), operate res/decel switch, and remove the foot from the accelerator pedal, vehicle should smoothly adjust to the previously memorized speed.

7. Depress the main control switch in the auxiliary switch panel, cruise control system should immediately disengage and erase the previously set speed from the ECU memory.
