Cruise control

In order for the cruise control to be activated, a brake test must first be done by depressing the
brake pedal for approx. 2 seconds, see Brake test.

The cruise control (CC) is activated by the switch on the cruise control's control lever being set to
the ON position and the SET +/- button being pressed at the desired speed. The vehicle control unit
senses the control's signals and sends them to the engine control unit.

The speed is increased or decreased with the SET +/- button. The speed the vehicle has when the
SET +/- button is released is stored in the vehicle control unit memory, on condition the selected
speed is within the cruise control's speed range. The set speed is stored in the vehicle control unit
memory. When the switch is set to the RESUME position, the vehicle speed resumes the previously
set speed.

The cruise control is disconnected when the brake or clutch pedal is depressed or when the control
for retarder/auxiliary brake is moved to a manual braking position (1, 2, 3 or B). The cruise control
can also be completely disconnected by putting the switch in the OFF position.

Parameters BK and AI determine the lowest and highest speeds of the cruise control. The speed
sensor sends speed information to the vehicle control unit, which compares it with the set speed. If
a tachograph is fitted, the signal from the speed sensor passes to the vehicle control unit via the
tachograph.

If an adaptive cruise control (ACC) is installed, it will take over the cruise control function as soon as
there is an object within the defined radar zone. When the radar zone is empty again, the control is
returned to the cruise control. If an ACC is faulty or the contact between CC and ACC is broken, the
cruise control is disconnected but can be reactivated with the RESUME button (however, without
ACC function).

For more information about adaptive cruise controls, see Adaptive cruise control.
