Speed Control

Speed Control

The speed control system is integrated with the engine management system and uses fueling intervention to automatically maintain a set vehicle speed. Once engaged, the system can also be used to accelerate the vehicle without using the accelerator pedal. The speed control system comprises the following components:
^ Resume/Suspend switch
^ '+' and '-' (set/accelerate and decelerate)
^ Clock spring
^ Speed control warning lamp (in the instrument cluster)

The speed control system also uses inputs from the brake pedal switch, the APP (accelerator pedal position) sensor, the ECM (engine control module) and the ABS (anti-lock brake system) Control Module.

The speed control is operated by the driver using only the steering wheel switches. When speed control is active, the ECM (engine control module) controls the electronic throttle to adjust the fuel supply as required to maintain the set speed.
