Cruise Control Servo Cable: Adjustments

1. Lift the adjustment lock button (1) up.
2. Pull the cable adjustment slider (2) rearward until all slack is removed from cable, but without opening the throttle.
3. Push down the cable adjustment lock button (1) until it snaps and locks in place
IMPORTANT:
^ The cruise control cable must not have more than 2.0 mm (0.07 in) of slack. Excess slack in the cable may cause poor performance. For example, the cruise control system may hesitate when engaged.
^ Cable should never be adjusted so tightly that tension from the cable will not allow the throttle to close properly. Pulling the cable too tight will prevent the engine from returning to idle and could cause an unstable idle quality.
