Cruise Control
124
To operate cruise control
The cruise control system has three switches; a master switch
on the centre console and two control switches marked
‘SET+’ and ‘RES’ mounted on the steering wheel.
1.
Press the master switch (the switch indicator light and the
warning light in the instrument panel illuminate
whenever cruise control is operating).
2.
Accelerate until the desired cruising speed is reached.
This must be above the system's minimum operational
speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) and below the maximum
operating speed of 125 mph (200 km/h).
NOTE: The set speed held in the
cruise control memory, will be
cancelled when either the cruise
control master switch or the
starter switch is turned off.
3.
Lift the ‘SET+’ switch to set the road speed in the system
memory. Cruise control will now maintain that speed
without the need to use the accelerator pedal.
With cruise control operating, speed can be increased by
normal use of the accelerator eg. for overtaking. When the
accelerator is released, road speed will return to the selected
cruising speed. On diesel engine cars, cruise control will be
disengaged if the accelerator is used for longer than 30 seconds
- lift the ‘RES’ switch to re-engage.
To increase the set cruising speed
Lift and hold the ‘SET+’ switch - the car will accelerate
automatically. Release the switch as soon as the desired speed
has been reached.
Alternatively, the set speed can be increased incrementally by
‘tapping’ the ‘SET+’ switch. Each operation of the switch
will increase the speed by approximately 1 mph (1.5 km/h).
Disengaging cruise control
Cruise control will automatically disengage if the brake or
clutch pedals are depressed, or if ‘N’ (neutral) is selected on an
automatic gearbox. Cruise control can also be disengaged by
operating the ‘RES’ switch.
To re-engage cruise control at the previously set speed,
operate the ‘RES’ switch.
