Off-On-Resume/Accelerate Switch

Cruise Control Actuator Lever (Typical):




Important: Vehicle is equipped with a "Set To Get Cruise" feature requiring operator to use the "SET/COAST" button before "RESUME/ACCEL" slider switch will activate.

The "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2) has three positions. This switch turns the cruise control system "ON" and "OFF" and also returns cruise control operation to the last speed setting when momentarily moved toward the "R/A" (RESUME/ACCELERATE) position alter braking. If the "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2) is held in the "R/A" position for more than one second, the system goes into the acceleration mode to accelerate the vehicle. Move the switch (2) to the "R/A" position and hold it there until the vehicle reaches the desired speed. when the "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2) is released, the system will cruise the vehicle at the speed it was going when the switch was released. In order to use the acceleration mode, the "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2) must be in the "ON" position and the vehicle must be above the low speed limit of 40 km/h (25 mph), with a set speed already in memory.

The "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2) can also be used to raise "tap-up" vehicle speed. In order to do this the cruise control system must be engaged and operating. "Tapping-up" is done by quickly pressing the "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2) toward the "R/A" position and quickly releasing it, or "tapping" the "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2). Do not hold the "OFF-ON-R/A" switch (2) in the "R/A" position, or the system will go into the acceleration mode. "Tap-up" is a function in which cruise speed can be increased by 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments (one tap - 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increase).
