Description - cruise control
General
All markets have a common cruise control system. The cruise control system, when activated, regulates vehicle
speed. The system consists of an electrical sub-system and a mechanical sub-system.
The electrical sub-system consists of the following components:
lCruise control master switch (on/off switch).
lSET+ switch.
lRES switch.
lCruise control ECU.
lVacuum pump assembly.
lBrake pedal switch.
lClutch pedal switch (manual gearbox only).
lSLABS ECU (speed signal).
lBCU (brake pedal switch and automatic gearbox gear selector lever position signal).
The mechanical sub-system consists of the following components:
lPneumatic actuator.
lVacuum pump.
The cruise control ECU controls the cruise control system. It is located on the right hand A post.
The system has diagnostic capabilities through TestBook.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of losing control of the vehicle, do not use cruise control on winding, snow
covered or slippery roads, or in traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot be safely maintained. In
these conditions and at any time the system is not being used, ensure the cruise control switch is OFF.
Cruise control master switch
The cruise control master switch switches the system on and off. When the cruise control master switch is on, an
LED within the switch illuminates. If the cruise control master switch is off, cruise control will not operate. The switch
provides a 12 Volt feed to the cruise control ECU.
The cruise control master switch is located on the instrument panel near the steering column.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-61
Brake pedal switch
The cruise control ECU has two inputs from the brake pedal switch that determine the position of the brake pedal.
One input comes through the BCU and is low when the brake pedal is not pressed. The second input comes directly
from the brake pedal switch. This input is high when the brake pedal is not pressed. On vehicles with a manual
gearbox, the input from the clutch pedal switch to the cruise control ECU is connected in series with the direct signal
from the brake pedal switch.
If the cruise control ECU receives a changed signal from either source, it deactivates cruise control, removing power
to the vacuum pump and activating the vacuum control valve releasing all vacuum in the system.
The brake pedal switch also provides the signal to illuminate the brake lamps and the brake input to the SLABS ECU.
Input/Output
With the brake pedal and the clutch pedal in the rest position, the cruise control ECU receives 12 Volts.
With the brake pedal pressed, the cruise control ECU receives 0 Volts and a low voltage logic signal from the BCU.
NOTE: If the clutch pedal is pressed, 0 Volts are present at the cruise control ECU irrespective of brake pedal position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-63
Body control unit
On manual gearbox vehicles, the BCU provides cruise control lockout or suspend function as described under brake
pedal switch.
On vehicles with automatic gearbox, the BCU monitors the status of the brake pedal switch as well as the status of
the automatic gearbox gear selector lever. The BCU monitors the gear selector lever to determine which gearbox
position the driver has selected. If the BCU detects that the driver has selected park, reverse or neutral, it sends a
signal to the cruise control ECU which inhibits cruise operation or deactivates cruise control if it is activated.
Input/Output
If the BCU receives a brake pedal switch signal or an automatic gearbox gear selector lever position signal, the BCU
sends a HIGH signal to the cruise control ECU. The cruise control ECU cancels or inhibits cruise control functions.

18-2-66 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation - cruise control
Cruise control activation
Cruise control is a passive system. The driver must activate it. Switching on the cruise control master switch located
on the instrument panel activates cruise control. An LED in the switch illuminates, indicating cruise control is
available. The driver must accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal. When the desired
speed is reached, pressing the SET+ switch activates cruise control. Cruise control will only activate if the following
conditions are met:
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
Function
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.
Cruise control cancellation
Cancelling cruise control enables the driver to regain control of the vehicle speed by using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is cancelled if any of the following conditions occur:
lThe brake pedal is pressed.
lThe RES switch button is pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe cruise control master switch is turned off.
lThe gearbox is placed in park, neutral, or reverse (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The cruise control ECU cancels cruise control operation by opening a vacuum control valve in the vacuum pump
assembly. This releases the throttle linkage from the control of the pneumatic actuator and returns it to the control of
the accelerator pedal.
The set speed will be stored in the cruise control ECU unless:
lThe cruise control master switch is turned off.
lThe ignition switch is turned off.
If cruise control is deactivated using either of the above methods, the set speed will be erased from the memory of
the cruise control ECU.
Cruise control resume
Cruise control can be resumed at the previously set speed, provided the set speed has not been erased from the
cruise control ECU memory as described above. To resume cruise control operation to the previously set speed,
depress the RES switch once when the following conditions are met:
lA set speed is stored in the cruise control ECU.
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-67
Function
The cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator. This moves the
throttle to the set speed by adjusting the position of the throttle disc.
Accelerating while cruise control is active
There are three ways of increasing vehicle speed when cruise control is active:
lTemporarily increase vehicle speed (e.g. when overtaking another vehicle).
lIncrease vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.5 km/h) increments.
lIncrease vehicle set speed.
To temporarily increase vehicle speed press the accelerator pedal until the desired speed is reached. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle coasts back to the set speed. When it reaches the set speed, cruise control
operation continues.
To increase the vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.5 km/h) increments, tap the SET+ switch. Each tap on the switch
increases vehicle speed.
To increase the vehicle set speed, press and hold the SET+ switch until the desired set speed is reached.
The vehicle set speed will increase if the following conditions are met:
lThe vehicle is under cruise control operation.
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The vehicle responds as follows:
lIf the driver accelerates using the accelerator pedal, vehicle speed increases overriding pneumatic actuator
position. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle returns to the set speed.
lIf the SET+ switch is tapped, the driver increases the stored speed and vehicle speed by 1 mph (1.5 km/h) per
tap on the switch.
lIf the driver presses and holds the SET+ switch, the vehicle speed increases until the SET+ switch is released.
This becomes the new set speed for the cruise control ECU.
Switching off cruise control
Switching off cruise control allows the driver to regain control of vehicle speed. It erases the set road speed from the
cruise control ECU memory.
To switch off cruise control, press the cruise control master switch to the off position.
Function
When the cruise control master switch is turned off, the cruise control ECU switches off power to the vacuum pump
assembly. The vacuum dump valve opens releasing the vacuum in the pneumatic actuator, returning the throttle disc
to driver control via the accelerator pedal.

COOLING SYSTEM - TD5
26-1-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Outlet housing
A cast aluminium outlet housing is attached to the cylinder head with three bolts and sealed with a gasket. Coolant
leaves the engine through the outlet housing and is directed through a hose to the heater matrix, the radiator or the
by-pass circuit.
An Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is installed in a threaded port on the side of the outlet housing. The
sensor monitors coolant temperature emerging from the engine and sends signals to the Engine Control Module
(ECM) for engine management and temperature gauge operation.
+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Td5, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Expansion tank
The expansion tank is located in the engine compartment. The tank is made from moulded plastic and attached to
brackets on the right hand inner wing. A maximum coolant when cold level is moulded onto the tank.
Excess coolant created by heat expansion is returned to the expansion tank from the radiator bleed pipe at the top of
the radiator. An outlet pipe is connected into the coolant pump feed hose and replaces the coolant displaced by heat
expansion into the system when the engine is cool.
The expansion tank is fitted with a sealed pressure cap. The cap contains a pressure relief valve which opens to allow
excessive pressure and coolant to vent through the overflow pipe. The relief valve is open at a pressure of 1.4 bar (20
lbf.in
2) and above.
Heater matrix
The heater matrix is fitted in the heater assembly inside the passenger compartment. Two pipes pass through the
bulkhead into the engine compartment and provide coolant flow to and from the matrix. The pipes from the bulkhead
are connected to the matrix, sealed with 'O' rings and clamped with circular rings.
The matrix is constructed from aluminium with two end tanks interconnected with tubes. Aluminium fins are located
between the tubes and conduct heat from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes. Air from the heater assembly is
warmed as it passes through the matrix fins. The warm air is then distributed in to the passenger compartment as
required.
+ HEATING AND VENTILATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
When the engine is running, coolant from the engine is constantly circulated through the heater matrix.
Radiator
The 44 row radiator is located at the front of the vehicle in the engine compartment. The cross flow type radiator is
manufactured from aluminium with moulded plastic end tanks interconnected with tubes. The bottom four rows are
separate from the upper radiator and form the lower radiator for the fuel cooler. Aluminium fins are located between
the tubes and conduct heat from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes, reducing the coolant temperature as it
flows through the radiator. Air intake from the front of the vehicle when moving carries the heat away from the fins.
When the vehicle is stationary, the viscous fan draws air through the radiator fins to prevent the engine from
overheating.
Two connections at the top of the radiator provide for the attachment of the top hose from the outlet housing and bleed
pipe to the expansion tank. Three connections at the bottom of the radiator allow for the attachment of the bottom
hose to the thermostat housing and the return hose from the oil cooler and the feed hose to the fuel cooler.
The bottom four rows of the lower radiator are dedicated to the fuel cooler. The upper of the two connections at the
bottom of the radiator receives coolant from the oil cooler. This is fed through the four rows of the lower radiator in a
dual pass and emerges at the lower connection. The dual pass lowers the coolant temperature by up to 24
°C before
being passed to the fuel cooler.
Two smaller radiators are located in front of the cooling radiator. The upper radiator is the intercooler for the air intake
system and the lower radiator provides cooling of the gearbox oil.
