ule (ECM) and the vehicle electronic control unit (VECU).
Switch inputs are sent to the VECU. The VECU communi-
cates with the ECM through the data links.

must first be done by pressing the brake pedal for approxi-
mately 2 seconds.

clutching, DO NOT bring the clutch pedal to the fully en-
gaged position.

Transmission gear changes must not be made without the
use of the clutch while in the cruise control mode. Failure
to use the clutch will cause the engine speed (RPM) to in-
crease to the high idle limit, which may cause severe
power train damage.

• Press the accelerator pedal (AP). This method will accel-


erate the vehicle for as long as the pedal is pressed. (Re-
lease the pedal to return to the speed set previously.)

• Press the ACCEL switch. This method will accelerate the


vehicle for as long as the switch is pressed. The new ve-
hicle speed is set when the switch is released. (Press the
DECEL switch to decelerate the vehicle. The vehicle will
decelerate for as long as the DECEL switch is pressed.
The new vehicle speed is set when the switch is
released.)

• The speed can also be “bumped” (known as bump


speed) up or down. Tap the ACCEL side to bump up 1 mi/
h or tap the DECEL side to bump down 1 mi/h.
