Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation

Selector Switch







The cruise control selector switch is located on the turning indicator stalk. To activate the cruise control the switch must be ON and the SET button must be pressed in. Vehicle speed must exceed 35 km/h. When the system has been engaged vehicle speed can be adjusted up or down by pressing the + or - SET button. Every time the SET button is pressed the vehicle speed setting changes by 1.6 km/h (1 mph). If the control module is switched off (by pressing the brake or clutch pedals or the ON I OFF button) the latest vehicle speed setting is stored in memory until the ignition is switched off. This speed can be restored by moving the ON/OFF button to the RESUME position.

Braking

Vehicle speed can always be reduced by braking. Cruise control is automatically disengaged. This also happens when the clutch is depressed.

Acceleration

The accelerator pedal can be used with cruise control engaged. When the accelerator pedal (AP) is released the car returns to its set speed. Vehicle speed can also be increased by pressing the + button until the desired speed is reached. Disengaging the cruise control

Cruise control is disengaged if one of the following occurs:

- The selector switch is set to OFF
- The vehicle speed drops below 35 km/h (22 mph).
- The brake or clutch pedals are depressed.
- The brake pedal is used.
- Park / Neutral position (PNP) switch on automatic transmission models.
- Safety disengagement. Activated by the control module if the wheels lock or spin. The system is also disengaged if the engine cannot achieve the set speed.
