Standard Cruise Control
Cruise control maintains the set vehicle speed without the driver needing to apply the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is being driven the cruise control can be activated and controlled using the steering wheel mounted cruise control switches. When the cruise control is active the cruise control indicator illuminates in the IPC.
Cruise control system functions include:
- Turning on the cruise control system
- Setting and maintaining the desired vehicle speed
- Increasing the vehicle speed
- Decreasing the vehicle speed
- Resuming the previously set vehicle speed
- Turning off the cruise control system
During normal driving, the vehicle speed can vary slightly from the set speed due to road conditions. The vehicle speed can fluctuate when driving up and down a steep hill. If the vehicle speed decreases more than 16 km/h below the set speed, the cruise control disengages. Cruise control is disabled anytime an error is detected in the system.
The cruise control system is controlled by the BCM and PCM, which monitor data and switches/sensors to set and maintain the selected vehicle speed. The following switches/sensors are monitored by the BCM and PCM:
- APP sensor
- BPP switch (dual contact switch)
- Cruise control steering wheel switch
- ABS module (speed signal)
