Cruise Control Functional Switches

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Multifunction lever may also be referred to as combination switch or multifunction switch.

Cruise control functional switches are located on the end of multifunction lever, which also serves as a turn signal lever. Cruise control functional switches include SET switch at end of lever and a sliding main switch with OFF, ON and R/A (Resume/Accelerate) positions. Switch functions are described as follows:

OFF

System disengages when cruise control switch is turned off.

ON

System is ready to be set when cruise control switch is turned on.

R/A

Spring-loaded R/A (resume/accelerate) switch will not initially set cruise speed, but when cruise has been disengaged by braking or depressing clutch, momentarily sliding this switch to R/A position will cause cruise to resume previously set speed. This is the resume function. Accelerate function occurs when R/A switch is held in position for more than one second. This causes the vehicle to accelerate until switch is released. When released, system maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-up" in one MPH increments.

SET

Spring-loaded SET switch engages cruise. During engagement, if SET switch is pressed and held, vehicle decelerates (cruise disengages) until switch is released. When switch is released, cruise engages and maintains new set speed. Also, by quickly pressing and releasing (tapping) this switch, the set speed is "tapped-down" in one MPH increments.
