The following brake pedal travel distances can be used to validate proper cruise control release switch and stoplamp switch adjustment.
-
Cruise control release switch and stoplamp switch contacts must actuate at 3.5 to 12.5 mm (1/8 to 1/2 inch) of brake pedal travel,
measured at the centerline of the brake pedal pad. Nominal actuation of the stoplamp switch contacts is about 4.5 mm (3/16 inch) after
cruise control release switch actuation.
