Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation

The Cruise Control system is controlled by means of switch 141.

The different positions of the switch are as follows: ON: The ON position is to the left of the OFF position.

In the ON position, current is supplied to terminal A of the control module and the CRUISE lamp lights up.

TIP: Between the ON and OFF positions is a position called TIP.

When the Cruise Control system is activated (ON) and in operation, the CRUISE lamp goes out to indicate that the switch has been moved to the TIP position.

In the TIP position, no current is supplied to terminals A, B or C of the control module and the Cruise Control system is disengaged but the preselected speed is retained in the control module's memory. When the switch is released and springs back to its normal position, current will again be supplied to terminal A (same as in the ON position).

OFF: Further to the right is the OFF position.

In the OFF position, no current is supplied to terminals A, B or C of the control module. As long as the ignition is not switched off, the predetermined speed will be retained in the memory (same as in the TIP position).

The OFF position is the same as a locked TIP position.







RES/-:
Current is supplied to terminals A and C of the control module. Two functions are available in this position:
1 After activation of the brake or clutch pedal, the Cruise Control can be reset to the original speed by pressing RES/-.
2 It the button is held in the RES position, the car will gradually slow down. The new speed will be stored in the memory when the button is released. If the button is pressed briefly, the speed of the car will be reduced in steps of 1.6 km/h (1 mph).







SET/+:
At the end of the direction indicators stalk is a spring loaded SET/+ button. When this button is pressed, current is supplied to terminal B of the control module. This button controls two functions:
1 If the SET button is pressed while the Cruise Control system is activated, the current speed will be stored in the Cruise Control memory.
2 If the SET/+ button is kept depressed, the car will gradually pick up speed. The new speed will be stored in the memory when the button is released. If the button is pressed briefly, the speed of the car will increase in steps of 1.6 km/h (1 mph).
