Cruise Control - Overview: Overview

The cruise control system and Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL) are controlled by the PCM.

The cruise control mode is selected from the steering wheel mounted switches (ON/OFF, SET+, SET-, LIM and CAN/RES), which are integrated into the LH steering wheel switch.

The cruise control system maintains a selected vehicle speed between 32 km/h (20 mph) or 29 km/h (18 mph) (metric cluster) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. When a MyKey® restricted key is in use and maximum speed limiter is turned on, vehicle speed is limited to 130 km/h (80 mph).

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 (10 mph) below the set speed, the cruise control disengages.

The ASL feature operates exclusive of the cruise control. When the feature is activated, the vehicle does not travel beyond the selected speed under normal driving conditions. If the accelerator pedal is pressed hard, the ASL feature is over-ridden and the driver can accelerate to pass another vehicle. Once the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle slows down and the ASL speed limit resumes.

The ASL is activated from the LH steering wheel mounted switch (LIM). Speed limit selections are made using the cruise control SET+ and SET- switches.
