ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8

18-2-74 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Operation - cruise control

Cruise control activation
Cruise control is a passive system.  The driver must activate it.  Switching on the cruise control master switch located 
on the instrument panel activates cruise control.  An LED in the switch illuminates, indicating cruise control is 
available.  The driver must accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal.  When the desired 
speed is reached, pressing the SET+  switch activates cruise control.  Cruise control will only activate if the following 
conditions are met:

l

Vehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).

l

The brake pedal is not pressed.

l

The clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).

l

The gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).

Function
The cruise control ECU receives the set signal and determines the vehicle speed provided by the SLABS ECU.  The 
cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator and the linkage to the 
throttle disc to maintain set road speed.  It does this by controlling the vacuum to the pneumatic actuator.

Cruise control cancellation
Cancelling cruise control enables the driver to regain control of the vehicle speed by using the accelerator pedal.  
Cruise control is cancelled if any of the following conditions occur:

l

The brake pedal is pressed.

l

The RES switch button is pressed.

l

The clutch pedal is pressed (manual gearbox only).

l

The cruise control master switch is turned off.

l

The gearbox is placed in park, neutral, or reverse (automatic gearbox only).

Function
The cruise control ECU cancels cruise control operation by opening a vacuum control valve in the vacuum pump 
assembly.  This releases the throttle linkage from the control of the pneumatic actuator and returns it to the control of 
the accelerator pedal.

The set speed will be stored in the cruise control ECU unless:

l

The cruise control master switch is turned off.

l

The ignition switch is turned off.

If cruise control is deactivated using either of the above methods, the set speed will be erased from the memory of 
the cruise control ECU.

Cruise control resume
Cruise control can be resumed at the previously set speed, provided the set speed has not been erased from the 
cruise control ECU memory as described above.  To resume cruise control operation to the previously set speed, 
depress the RES switch once when the following conditions are met:

l

A set speed is stored in the cruise control ECU.

l

Vehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).

l

The brake pedal is not pressed.

l

The clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).

l

The gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).

Function
The cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator.  This moves the 
throttle to the set speed by adjusting the position of the throttle disc.
