In order to engage the Auto Pilot you need the vehicle to be on and running.
After this you can do it in two differant ways.
You can turn the large knob to a selected number in the little window which
means a speed ( ie 3=30 or 5=50 or whatever ) and then pull out the end knob.
Press on the foot feed until you fell the unit "catch". The car will gain
speed up to the number/speed you selected. There is a caution to be known at
this point. If you do not have clearance in front of you, you will gain speed
to
the rear of what ever is in front of you. If you touch the brake pedal at
any point the unit will dis-engage.
The second way is the same as the first but this time just do this to match
the numbers with your speed as you are driving. You will feel the foot pedal
move as they are matched. If you would like to increase the vehicle speed just
turn the large knob from say 6 to 9. The same in reverse if you do not want
7 and would prefer 3.
If while engaged the vehicle in front of you slows to a lower number than
what you was cruzin at just slow as you would with the brake and then press on
the foot pedal until you feel it re-engage.
A historical side note to this unit is that it was designed by a man who was
blind.
