Cruise Control: Description and Operation

Vehicle Speed Control System

The Vehicle Speed Control system offers the driver relaxed vehicle cruising by enabling a pre-set constant vehicle speed to be maintained without driver
operation of the accelerator pedal.

Vehicle Speed Control is activated by an ON/OFF master switch adjacent to the 'Sport mode switch in the 'J' gate surround. An integral red light
illuminates when the system is activated.

A steering wheel mounted four button control pad provides for driver increase (+) or decrease (-) of set vehicle speed, suspension of system operation
with set speed memorised (CANCEL) and resumption of operation at memorised vehicle speed (RESUME). The selected vehicle speed is displayed in
the message center. The vehicle speed control system will not operate below 26 km/h (16 mph).

The set vehicle speed can be increased or decreased in 2 km/h (1 mph) increments by briefly pressing the (+) or (-) control button up to a maximum of
five times. Alternatively, the (+) or (-) button can be pressed and held until the required vehicle speed is displayed in the message center.

Adaptive Vehicle Speed Control

Operation

On vehicles for certain markets, an adaptive speed control system is installed as an option. In addition to the normal vehicle speed control functions, this
system enables a preset distance to be maintained behind a moving vehicle immediately ahead, without driver intervention.
