General Description
The cruise control keeps the vehicle running at a fixed
speed until a signal canceling this fixed speed is
received .
When the main switch “AUTO CRUISE” is turned on
with the vehicle in the running mode, the battery voltage
is applied to the control unit. When a signal from the
control switch is input to the control unit while the
vehicle is in this state, the cruise control actuator is
activated to operate the system. Also, while the system
is operating, the “AUTO CRUISE” indicator light in the
meter assembly lights up.
1. SET/COAST Switch Function
1.Set Function: When the SET/COAST switch is
pressed and released with the main switch on, the
speed at which the vehicle is running at that
moment is stored in the memory, and the vehicle
automatically runs at the stored speed.
2.Coast-down Function: When the SET/COAST
switch is kept on while the vehicle in running, the
vehicle decelerates during that time. The speed at
which vehicle is running when the control switch is
turned off is stored in the memory, and the vehicle
automatically returns to the stored speed.
3.Tap-down Function: When the SET/COAST switch
is turned on and off instantaneously while the
vehicle is running, the vehicle decelerates a mile for
each on/off operation. The vehicle speed at which
the vehicle was running when the SET/COAST was
turned off last is stored in the memory, and the
vehicle automatically returns to this stored speed.
2. RESUME/ACCEL Switch Function
1.Resume Function: When the RESUME/ACCEL
switch is turned on/off after the system is
temporarily deactivated by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal while the vehicle is running, the vehicle
resumes the speed stored before the system was
released, and the vehicle automatically runs at the
stored speed .
2.Accelerate Function: When the RESUME/ACCEL
switch is kept on after the system is released
completely, the vehicle accelerates its speed during
that time. The vehicle speed at which the vehicle
was running when the switch was turned off is
stored in the memory, and the vehicle automatically
returns to this speed.
3.Tap-up Function: When the RESUME/ACCEL
switch is turned on and off instantaneously while
the vehicle is running, the vehicle decelerates a mile
for each on/off operation. The vehicle speed at
which the vehicle was running when the switch was
turned off last is stored in the memory, and the
vehicle automatically returns to this stored speed.
3. CANCEL Function
1.Temporary Cancellation:
•When the brake pedal is pressed.
•When the clutch pedal is pressed. (M/T)
•When the select lever is shifted to any position
other than“D”, “3”, “2”or“L”. (A/T)
•When the cancel switch is operated.
•When the vehicle speed exceeds about 20 km/h
over the vehicle speed stored in the memory.
•Turning the RESUME/ACCEL switch will return
the vehicle to the speed stored in the cruise
control memory.
2.Complete Cancellation:
•When the starter switch or the main switch is
turned off.
•When the fail-safe function is activated.
•When the vehicle speed is about 38.5 km/h.
