Cruise Control Activation: Function
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2004 Land Rover Discovery, 2003 Land Rover Discovery, 2002 Land Rover Range Rover, 2002 Land Rover Discovery, and 2001 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cruise control ECU receives the set signal and determines the vehicle speed provided by the SLABS ECU. The cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator and the linkage to the throttle disc to maintain set road speed. It does this by controlling the vacuum to the pneumatic actuator.
