Cruise Control on your vehicle and make it safer to use. We have gathered these tips from people across the country who have
informed us of their problems and solutions. Even with all these reports from the field, we cannot cover every condition which you
might encounter; there are just too many different vehicle makes and models. We do our best to tell you how to handle most
vehicles, but we must Depend on Your Good Judgment for dealing with the rest. Therefore, we believe you can understand why we
strongly urge you to think carefully about what could happen to you, your passengers, and your vehicle if you use any tools, parts,
fastening methods, routing or procedures which are not described in this manual.
There is NO drain on the battery if the control switch is left on. The Cruise Control needs no regular service.
