Cruise Control
The cruise control system is operated by
four switches mounted on the steering wheel
spokes.
- On/off/cancel (lower left).
- Resume (upper left).
- Set/raise speed setting (upper right).
- Reduce speed setting (lower right).
The three operational states of cruise
control are:
- Off.
- Enabled (but inactive).
- Active.
To enable cruise control:Thesystemwillalwaysdefaultto‘off’whenevertheignitionisturnedoff.Toenable
cruisecontrol,turnontheignition,andpresstheon/offswitch;thetelltaleintheinstrumentpanelwilllightto
confirm that the system is enabled (although no speed has yet been set). Alternatively, this operation may be
combined with that for activation, by pressing the on button followed by the set button (see below).
To activate cruise control: Drive the car to the desired cruising speed and press the set button. The accelerator
may now be released, but the set speed will be maintained (road gradient and winds permitting). The accelera-
tor may be used to increase speed temporarily without affecting the setting.
Note; The system cannot be activated below 20 mph (32 km/h) or above 125 mph (200 km/h).
Deactivation: Cruise control will be deactivated when any of the following actions occur:
- Thebrakepedalisdepressed;
- The clutch pedal is depressed.
- The on/off/cancel button is pressed.
In any of these cases, normal manual speed control will be restored, but the system will remain ena-
bled.
Resume: To resume cruise, press the resume switch. The vehicle speed will automatically adjust to the cruise
setting.
Changing the cruise setting:Whilstcruiseisactive,thespeedsettingcanbeadjustedbyholdingdownthe‘+’
or‘-’buttonstoaccelerateorslowthecartothedesirednewspeed.Onreleaseofthebutton,thatspeedwill
then be set. Alternatively, a single short press of either button will increase or decrease the setting by 1 mph
(1.5 km/h).
If the system is not active, the car can be driven to the desired speed, and the set button pressed.
