Speed Control System

The speed control actuator is electronically controlled by the speed control actuator module and uses a speed control actuator to position the speed control cable. In turn, the position of the speed control cable controls the engine speed.

The speed control system is designed to maintain vehicle speed above 48 km/h (30 mph). After the ON switch is depressed, depressing the COAST/SET switch will activate the speed control actuator servo. To increase a set speed, depress the RES/ACCEL switch and hold for continuous acceleration. To decrease a set speed, depress and hold the COAST/SET switch until the target speed is reached. When the speed control system has been disabled by tapping the brake pedal, the RES/ACCEL switch can be depressed and the vehicle will return to the original set speed if the vehicle is traveling over 48 km/h (30 mph) and the OFF or CANCEL switch has not been depressed or the transmission selector has not been placed in NEUTRAL or PARK.
