Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation

Actuator Switches

ON Switch
When the ON switch is operated the speed control system is activated and providing the vehicle is travelling at a speed greater than 40km/h (25mile/h), the speed control system will accept the speed inputs. The instrument cluster (IC) will inform the driver that the speed control has been activated.

OFF Switch
When the OFF switch is operated the speed control system is deactivated and the speed setting stored in the ECM memory will be erased. The speed control warning in the IC will be extinguished.

RESUME Switch
When the RESUME switch is operated with the system in STANDBY mode, providing the vehicle speed is above, 40km/h (25mile/h) the vehicle will accelerate until the last set speed is reached.

The RESUME switch will not function if:
- The OFF switch has been operated.
- The ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position.
- The vehicle speed is below 40km/h (25mile/h).
- There is a loss of drive between the driveline system and the road wheels.
- The diagnostic system has detected a fault with the speed control system.

CANCEL Switch
When the CANCEL switch is operated with the vehicle speed control system active, the system will enter STANDBY mode.

SET Switch
When the SET switch is operated, providing the vehicle is travelling above 40km/h (25mile/h) the system allows the vehicle speed to be maintained to ± 2km/h (1 mile/h). When the vehicle speed control system is active, operating the SET switch will increase or decrease the vehicle speed respectively until the switch is released. If the SET switch is operated momentarily, the vehicle speed will increase or decrease in 2km/h (1 mile/h) increments.
