Steering Wheel Switch Function

Cruise control switch inputs are received by the SCCM and sent to the PCM through the GWM on the HS-CAN1.

Pressing and releasing the on (speedometer icon) switch turns the cruise control system on. Pressing SET+ or SET- on the set switch while the vehicle is traveling at the desired speed activates the cruise control system.

Pressing up or down on the set switch while in the active mode increases or decreases the maintained vehicle speed by 1 kmh per press when displayed units are kmh and 1 mph per press when displayed units are mph. If the respective switch is pressed and held, the vehicle speed continues to accelerate or decelerate until the switch is released.

Pressing and releasing the off (speedometer icon) switch or turning the ignition switch to the off position, turns the cruise control system off. While the cruise control system is active, applying the brake or pressing the cancel (X) switch puts the cruise control system into standby mode. Pressing the resume (RES) switch when the cruise control system is in standby mode causes the vehicle to accelerate to the last set speed. Resume does not function if the off switch is pressed, the ignition switch is cycled off or if the current vehicle speed is below the minimum operational speed.
