To change the target speed presets,

from the System Monitor screen, press

the center of the 5-way navigation

button to access the System Menu.

Press the “Speed Select” button as

shown in Figure 4 to access the

dialog screens. Read the text in the

first screen and press “Next” to go to

the second screen. Use the increase

or decrease buttons to alter the

values for the three speed presets as

desired (See Figure 6). When finished,

press the “Done” button to save the

selections and return to the System

Menu screen. Press the “Back” button

to return to the System Monitor

screen.
Note: If the target speed cannot be

met after the SpeedBrake has taken all

possible actions to do so, an advisory

message to the driver will display in

the Status Indicator on the System

Monitor screen instructing the use

of the foot brake to help slow the

vehicle. This feature may be disabled

in the “On Screen Alerts” section of

the System Menu.

Foot Brake activation
As with the ON mode, the Foot Brake

Activation feature allows the user

to customize the function of the

SpeedBrake to individual preference.

When SPEED cONTROL mode is

selected and Foot Brake Activation

is disabled, any use of the foot brake

will have no impact on SpeedBrake

activity. When Foot Brake Activation

is enabled, whenever the foot brake is

applied, the SpeedBrake will effectively

switch from SPEED cONTROL mode

to ON mode, closing the turbo

vanes to provide maximum braking

and downshifting the transmission

according to the selected Strength

setting.
Note: This change in braking

conditions will not change the

PowerPDA display.
Depending on the vehicle speed and

the target speed, the driver may or

may not notice any difference in

SpeedBrake functionality. For example,

if the target speed is 50 MPH and the

actual vehicle speed is 60 MPH, the

SpeedBrake will be selecting maximum

braking strategy in an attempt to slow

the vehicle down, therefore when the

foot brake is applied, there will be no

noticeable increase in SpeedBrake

activity. However, if the actual vehicle

speed is only 45 MPH, lower than the

target speed, the SpeedBrake will

not be providing any braking effect.

Therefore, when the foot brake is

applied, braking activity will become

much greater and the driver will feel

an increase in braking effect. This

condition is useful when the driver

has selected the SPEED cONTROL

mode and conditions require the

vehicle to slow down or stop, such as

approaching a highway off-ramp.
