To Accelerate For Passing

Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the

pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.

NOTE: When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000

feet (610 meters), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded

(especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the

SET speed. If the vehicle speed drops below (refer to the

table below for the speed for your specific engine), the

speed control will automatically disengage. If this hap-

pens, you can push down on the accelerator pedal to

maintain the desired speed.

Vehicles equipped with a 5–speed-manual transmission

should be operated in 4th gear or lower under the above

conditions.

Vehicles equipped with a Automatic transmission may

exhibit several downshifts under the above conditions.

To reduce the frequency of the downshifts and to im-

prove vehicle performance, it is advisable to lock out

overdrive by pressing the “TOW/HAUL” button located

at the end of the gear shifter.

WARNING!

Speed Control can be dangerous where the system

can’t maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could

go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose

control. An accident could be the result. Don’t use

Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are

winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.
