Electra Park Avenue V8-350 5.7L DSL (1982)
Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Description and Operation
The cruise control is disengaged by depressing the clutch or brake pedal. This system uses two separate clutch or brake release switches. When the
clutch or brake pedal is depressed, an electrical release switch opens which releases the resume solenoid, and vacuum to the transducer is vented. The
transducer mechanical memory records the speed set earlier and requires resume switch operation to re-engage. When the clutch or brake pedal is
depressed, a vacuum release valve is also operated, venting system vacuum to the air. This valve enables the servo unit to rapidly bleed vacuum and
return the throttle to idle position.
