Engagement Switch

Switch has three positions and is located in turn signal lever. To operate system, driver accelerates to desired speed and presses engagement switch in first detent position.

NOTE: On Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models, switch on instrument panel must be in "ON" position.

Full voltage is then supplied to transducer solenoid which sets transducer to maintain car's speed at time of engagement. Releasing switch to full out position reduces current to solenoid. To increase or decrease set speed, driver must depress engagement switch to second (full in) position, which stops all current to solenoid and disengages system. Driver then either slows or accelerates to new speed desired and releases switch to full out position. Button passes through first detent (activating solenoid at new speed) and moves to full out position where it maintains solenoid in activated position. System will not operate at speeds below 35 MPH on Buick, 24 MPH on Cadillac, or 30 MPH on Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac. Driver may accelerate to speeds higher than set speed by depressing accelerator pedal, and upon release of pedal, car will resume set speed.
