Engagement Switch
Switch has three positions and is located in turn signal lever. To operate system, driver accelerates to desired speed and presses engagement switch in first detent position.
Full voltage is supplied to transducer solenoid which sets transducer to maintain car's speed at time of engagement. Releasing switch to full out position reduces current to solenoid. To change set speed, driver must depress engagement switch to second (full in) position. This stops current to solenoid and disengages system. Driver then slows or accelerates to desired speed and releases switch to full out position. The button passes through first detent (activating solenoid at new speed) and moves to full out position to maintain solenoid in activated position. System will not operate at speeds below 35 MPH (Buick), or 30 MPH (all other models). Driver may accelerate above set speed, but when accelerator is released, car will resume set speed.
