The cruise control
system is engaged by the cruise "ON/OFF" main switch located on right of
steering wheel column. The system has the capability to cruise, coast,
accelerate and resume speed.
It also has a safety
interrupt, engaged upon 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 will prevent system engagement below a minimum speed of
40km/h (25mph).
The operation of the
controller 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 is returned to the idle
position.
Cruise main switch (ON/OFF)
The cruise control
system is engaged by pressing the cruise "ON/OFF" main switch. Pressing
the cruise "ON/OFF" main switch again releases throttle, clears cruise
memory speed, and puts vehicle in a non-cruise mode.
Set/Coast switch (SET/–)
The "SET/–" switch
located on right of 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 2.0km/h
(1.2mph) or 1.6km/h (1.0mph).
Resume/Accel switch (RES/+)
The "RES/+" switch
located on right of steering wheel column has two functions.
The resume function - If
any method other than the cruise “ON/OFF” main switch was 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 2.0km/h
(1.2mph) or 1.6km/h (1.0mph).
Cancel switch (CANCEL)
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. |
