Cruise Control
The cruise control system consists of the following components:
- Cruise control switches
- Cruise control deactivator switch (integral to the stoplamp switch)
- Cruise control indicator
- PCM
- Electronically-controlled throttle body
- Clockspring
The cruise control system is controlled by the PCM. The cruise control system is designed to maintain a selected vehicle speed between 37 km/h (23 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. The cruise control system is controlled by the steering wheel mounted switches (ON, OFF, SET+, SET-, and RESUME), and the brake pedal. The steering wheel mounted switches are hardwired to the PCM.
When a MyKey(TM) is used and the MyKey(TM) max speed limiter is turned on, the vehicle speed cannot be set to exceed 130 km/h (80 mph).
