signal lever and the instrument panel, re¬
leases the tilt mechanism for adjustment.
To adjust steering wheel tilt, hold the steer¬
ing wheel, pull the small lever toward you,
move the steering wheel to desired angle (or
let the spring within the column tilt it upward),
then release the small lever.
The tilt mechanism locks in any of six posi¬
tions. Tilt the steering wheel fully up for more
convenient entry to and exit from the driver's
seat.
• TELESCOPE — A knob located at the top
of the steering column, where it meets the
steering wheel, releases the steering col¬
umn telescoping mechanism for adjust¬
ment. To lengthen or shorten the steering
column within its range, move the tele¬
scope lock-unlock knob fully left, push or
pull the steering wheel to the desired pos¬
ition, and move the lock-unlock knob
fully right.
Adjust the steering wheel tilt and telescope
to provide the most suitable position for you.
Horn
The horn is actuated by depressing the steer¬
ing wheel spoke pad. The standard pad is de¬
signed so that pressure on any area will ac¬
tuate the horn. The horn pad on ACRS equip¬
ped cars has four marked areas over the spokes
that actuate the horn when pressed.
Cruise Control
The Cruise Control system (on cars so
equipped) may be actuated to maintain cruis¬
ing speeds above approximately 30 miles per
hour. When in operation, the system controls
engine power to maintain the desired cruising
speed within the limits of engine power and
engine braking, Fig. 2-3.
For Automatic Speed Control:
• Move the control switch (located on in¬
strument panel left of speedometer) to
"ON" position. An amber light next to
"ON" indicates that the system is set for
Automatic Speed Control.
• Accelerate to desired cruising speed.
• Momentarily depress and slowly release
the lock-in button (located on end of turn
signal knob marked "CRUISE"). A green
light in switch face next to "CRUISE"
indicates that Cruise Control is locked in.
Cruise Control now maintains car speed
without foot pressure on the accelerator
pedal.

pressing the accelerator pedal. The car
returns to the pre-set speed when the
pedal is released.
• Cruise speed is increased by accelerating
