Engine Start and Operation 219
Disengaging
The cruise control is disengaged if the
brake or clutch pedal is depressed, or if the
cruise control switch is set to OFF. If the
ignition key is turned back to the acces-
sories position (R), the cruise control
system will automatically be disengaged.
Resuming Vehicle Speed
The previously selected cruise speed is re-
tained in the memory. When the cruise
control switch is pushed to the RESUME
position, the vehicle resumes the previously
set speed (provided vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) when the
switch is pressed).
Acceleration
Momentary acceleration (such as for pass-
ing another vehicle) does not interrupt
cruise control operation. After passing, re-
lease accelerator and let the vehicle slow to
cruise control speed. The previously set
speed will then be maintained without hav-
ing to set the switch to RESUME.
CAUTION
On vehicles equipped with Eaton VO-
RAD SmartCruise, cruise control is
disengaged in the event the SmartCruise
system fails to operate. You must stop
the truck, turn the ignition off and on,
and activate the control twice in order
for the cruise control to operate.
NOTE! Read the Eaton VORAD Collision
Warning System Driver Reference Manual
before taking the vehicle out on the road.
