Cruise Control System Construction
The cruise control system is a device which maintains a preset vehicle speed while driving at a high speed, e.g., on a highway. It allows the driver to drive his vehicle at a constant speed of 40 km/h (25 mile/h) or higher without depressing the accelerator pedal. The system also has such functions as to change the vehicle speed without operating the accelerator pedal (but using SET/COAST and RESUME/ACCEL switches), cancel cruise control (CANCEL switch) and resume the speed in memory automatically after cruise control is cancelled (RESUME/ACCEL switch). The system mainly consists of a vehicle speed sensor, an actuator assembly incorporated with control module, cruise control lever (cruise ON/OFF switch, SET/COAST switch, RESUME/ACCEL switch and CANCEL switch), etc.
