How Does Car Cruise Control Work?
1 Answers
There are two types of car cruise control working principles: the latest electronic type and the traditional mechanical type. Below is a detailed introduction to the working principles: 1. Latest Electronic Type: The working process of the latest electronic throttle cruise control is more intelligent and precise. It controls the vehicle speed by adjusting the throttle opening size through the cruise control system, which regulates the signal output from the electronic throttle sensor. 2. Traditional Mechanical Type: The driver selects the speed based on road conditions and activates the cruise control system via a momentary switch to replace throttle pedal control. The system automatically adjusts the fuel supply according to the impact of slopes and road conditions on the vehicle speed, enabling the vehicle to maintain a constant speed. According to driving operation procedures, the cruise control function is automatically deactivated when the clutch pedal is pressed for gear shifting or the brake pedal is pressed, restoring throttle pedal control without any additional operations.
