The cruise control system is operated by the cruise
“ON/OFF” main switch located on the right side of the steering wheel
column. The system has the capability to cruise, coast, accelerate and
resume speed.
It also has a safety interrupt function, engaged by depressing brake or shifting select lever.
The ECM is the control module for this system. The main
components of cruise control system are mode control switches,
transmission range switch, brake switch, vehicle speed sensor, ECM and
ETS motor that connect throttle body.
The ECM contains a low speed limit which enables the system to maintain a minimum speed of 40km/h (25mph).
The controller operation is controlled by mode control switches located on steering wheel.
Transmission range switch and brake switch are provided to
disengage the cruise control system. The switches are on brake pedal
bracket and transmission. When the brake pedal is depressed or select
lever shifted, the cruise control system is electrically disengaged and
the throttle returns to the idle position.
Cruise main switch (CRUISE) |
The cruise control system is engaged by pressing the cruise
"ON/OFF" main switch. Pressing the cruise "ON/OFF" main switch again
releases throttle, erases the cruise memory speed and puts vehicle in a
non-cruise mode.
The "SET/–" switch located on the right side of the steering wheel column has two functions.
The set function - Push the "SET/–" switch and release it
at the desired speed. The SET indicator light in the instrument cluster
will illuminate. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will
automatically be maintained.
The coast function - Push the "SET/–" switch and hold it
when the cruise control is on. The vehicle will gradually slow down.
Release the switch at the desired speed. The desired speed will be
maintained.
Push the "SET/–" switch and release it quickly. The cruising speed will decrease by 2km/h or 1mph.
Resume/Accel switch (RES/+) |
The "RES/+" switch located on the right side of the steering wheel column has two functions.
The resume function - If any method other than the cruise
“ON/OFF” main switch has been used to cancel cruising speed
temporarily and the system is still activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when the "RES/+" switch is pushed. It will
not resume, however, if the vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 40km/h (25mph).
The accel function - Push the "RES/+" switch and hold it when
the cruise control is on. The vehicle will gradually accelerate.
Release the switch at the desired speed. The desired speed will be
maintained.
Push the "RES/+" switch and release it quickly. The cruising speed will increase by 2km/h or 1mph.
The cruise control system is temporarily disengaged by pushing the "CANCEL" switch.
Cruise speed canceled by this switch can be recovered by pushing the "RES/+" switch.
