Cruise Control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The cruise (speed) control system can be
used by the driver to maintain a selected
vehicle speed above 30 km/h (18mph)
without the driver having to use the
accelerator.
Adjustment controls on the steering
wheel allow the driver manual control of
the system. Brake and clutch operations
also influence the cruise control system.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT CONTROL 1
thumb wheel is used to engage cruise
control initially by rolling it upwards. It is
also used to increase or decrease the set
speed.
CANCEL 2 cancels cruise control but
retains the set speed in memory.
RESUME 3 engages cruise control after it
has been cancelled.
USING THE CRUISE CONTROL
Setting vehicle speed
!
WARNING:
Only use cruise control when
conditions are favourable, for example,
straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic.
When you are travelling at the speed you
require, which must be above 30 km/h
(18 mph), roll the speed adjustment
control 1 upwards or downwards to
increase or decrease speed.
Cruise control will engage and maintain
the set speed and you can remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal.
Note: Cruise control will automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is
pressed or when the vehicle speed falls
below 30 km/h (18 mph).
Changing the speed
There are two ways to change the set
speed:
• Accelerate or decelerate to the
desired speed then roll the speed
adjustment control upwards (+).
• Increase or decrease the speed by
rolling the speed adjustment control
upwards (+) or downwards (-) until the
desired speed is obtained.
