What is the working principle of cruise control?
1 Answers
Cruise control works by allowing the driver to maintain a constant speed without pressing the accelerator pedal once the cruise control button is activated, based on road conditions and driving needs. This effectively relieves the driver's right foot, especially during highway driving or long-distance trips, where cruise control serves as an excellent driving aid. Below are the precautions for using the cruise control system: 1. The transmission must be in a forward gear, the vehicle speed must exceed 40km/h, and the main cruise switch must be turned on. 2. If the vehicle speed drops below 40km/h or the actual speed decreases by more than 16km/h from the set speed, cruise control will automatically deactivate. 3. When the speed reaches 200km/h, the CCS (Cruise Control System) automatically limits acceleration. Even if the speed increase switch is operated, the speed cannot exceed 200km/h, as the CCS control unit has functions to limit both the minimum and maximum speeds. Speeds outside the range of 40~200km/h are not recognized.
