To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, or pulling the Electronic
Speed Control lever toward you (cancel), or normal brake
or clutch pressure while slowing the vehicle will deacti-
vate the speed control without erasing the set speed from
memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or turning off the
ignition erases the set speed from memory.
NOTE: For vehicles equipped with a manual transmis-
sion, pressing the clutch pedal will disengage the speed
control. A slight increase in engine RPM before the
Electronic Speed Control disengages is normal.
To Resume Speed
If you deactivated the Electronic Speed Control without
erasing the set speed from memory and your vehicle
speed is above 20 mph (32 km/h) you can resume the
previous set speed. To do so, push the lever up and
release (Resume Accel), and then remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal.

When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can in-
crease speed by pushing up and holding the RESUME
ACCEL lever. Release the lever when the desired speed is
reached and the new set speed will be established.
Tapping RESUME ACCEL once will result ina1mph
(2 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped,
speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will
increase speed by 3 mph (5 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while the Electronic Speed Control is
set, push down and hold the SET DECEL lever. Release
the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new
set speed will be established.
