Section 4

There are three small lights in the dash display that indicate the status of Nautique Cruise. The top light is labeled MPH, the middle one labeled RPM, and the bottom one labeled SET. When Nautique Cruise is on either the MPH or RPM light will be illuminated and the SET light will either be off, flashing slowly, or on continuously. When the SET light is off, Nautique Cruise will not control speed and the throttle control will function normally at all speeds. If the SET light is flashing Nautique Cruise is armed but the boat speed is below the set point. The throttle control will function normally as long as the boat speed is below the set point. When the speed nears the set point, Nautique Cruise will take over controlling the speed. When Nautique Cruise takes over the SET light illuminates continuously.

NOTICE

After Nautique Cruise takes control, it is best to push the throttle control handle down a good portion of the way toward full throttle in order for Nautique Cruise to function correctly. Nautique Cruise can be turned off by pulling the throttle back toward neutral, by pushing the Cancel button or by turning Nautique Cruise off.

When the ignition is turned OFF and back ON, Nautique Cruise will “remember” the last set point and return to it. The indicator lights will provide the operator with an indication of the Nautique Cruise status.

There are two ways to operate the buttons on the steering wheel hub. One is to “push and release” (push and after a short delay of more than 1/2 second but less than two seconds, release the button). The other is to “push and hold” (push and after a longer delay of at least two seconds, release the button).
