2012 SSANGYONG NEW REXTON cruise control

Do not move the shift lever to Neutral position while driving with the cruise control turned on.
Otherwise, it may result in system malfunction or accidents.
Always be prepared to use the brake or accelerator pedal for safe driving while the cruise control
system is running.
The actual speed can be different from the set speed momentarily when driving on a uphill or
downhill. So, it is recommended to disable the cruise control function on a uphill or downhill. hen
driving on a steep hill use the engine brake and foot brake properly to protect the vehicle system
and for a safe driving.
Ensure that the safe distance is maintained and use the brake pedal if needed. 1.

(1) Abnormal Cancellation of the Cruise Control
When the rapid deceleration is applied without braking.
When the rapid acceleration is applied without acceleration pedal intervention.
When the cruise control lever is faulty.
When the brake switch and the brake light switch input signal are implausible. 1.

When the cruise control function is cancelled abnormally or intermittent problems occur, stop the vehicle
and turn off the ignition switch and remove the key to reset the system. After a while, turn on the ignition
switch again to operate the cruise control system.

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) System Description
The cruise control is an automatic speed control system that maintains a desired driving speed without
using the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle speed must be greater than 38 km/h to engage the cruise control. This feature is especially
useful for motorway driving.
The cruise control system is a supplementary system, which helps the driver to drive the vehicle at a
desired speed without using the accelerator pedal under the traffic condition where the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance meets the legal requirement.

2) Traffic Conditions for Using Cruise Control
Use the cruise control system only when the traffic is not jammed, driving on motorways or highways
where there is no sudden change in the driving condition due to traffic lights, pedestrian, etc.
Improper use of the cruise control could be dangerous.
- Do not use on winding roadsyy .
- Do not use in heavy traffic.
- Do not use on slippery, wet roads.
This could result in a loss of control, collision, and/or personal injuries.

2. CONFIGURATION
1) Circuit Diagram
The engine ECU detects the operating conditions of cruise control system, and monitors the braking
performance, vehicle speed, road conditions and ESP system operation. If the engine ECU determines
that there are not any problem to drive in cruise control mode, the vehicle can be operated by cruise
switch signals (decelerating, accelerating, cruising).

3. OPERATION
1) Setting a Desired Speed
To operate the cruise control, accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 36 km/h and
less than 150 km/h.
When the desired speed is reached, push up the ACCEL switch of the cruise control lever or push
down the DECEL switch for 1 second per one switching and then release the accelerator pedal slowly.
Now, the vehicle is cruised by this system with the set speed. You don't need to use the accelerator
pedal.
Refer to the following pages for details of operation. 1.

Never use the cruise control system until you get used to it.
Improper use or not fully aware of this function could result in collision and/or personal injuries.

2) Accelerating with the Cruise Control System
(1) While the cruise control system is running
Push up the ACCEL switch of the cruise control lever and hold it until the desired speed is reached
without an accelerator pedal intervention.
When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. 1.
2.
(2) When the cruise control system is not running
To increase the speed with the cruise control system while the system is not running, follow the
procedures below.
Accelerate using the accelerator pedal over 36 km/h.
Push up the ACCEL switch of the cruise control lever and hold it. And then release the accelerator
pedal slowly.
When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. 1.

(3) Tap-up while the cruise control system is running
To increase the vehicle speed in stages while the cruise control system is running, follow the procedures
below.
Push up the ACCEL switch of the cruise control lever less than 0.5 second per one switching while
the cruise control system is running. This is a tap-up switching. When you operate a tap-up switching,
the vehicle is accelerated for 1.3 km/h over the previous set speed.
If you want to accelerate for 13 km/h, operate the tap-up switching ten times without accelerating with
the cruise control system. 1.

3) Decelerating with the Cruise Control System
(1) While the cruise control system is running
Push down the DECEL switch of the cruise control lever and hold it until the desired speed is reached
without a brake pedal intervention. But the cruise control system cannot maintain the cruise function at
less than 34 km/h.
When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. 1.
2.
(2) When the cruise control system is not running
To decrease the vehicle speed with the cruise control system when the system is not running, follow the
procedures below.
Push down the cruise control switch lever to DECEL side and hold it until the desired speed is
reached while the vehicle speed is over 36 km/h.
And then release the accelerator pedal slowly.
When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. But the cruise control system cannot maintain
the cruise function at less than 34 km/h. 1.

(3) Tap-down while the cruise control system is running
To decrease the vehicle speed in stages while the cruise control system is running, follow the
procedures below.
Push down the DECEL switch of the cruise control lever less than 0.5 second per one switching while
the cruise control system is running. This is a tap-down switching. When you operate a tap-down
switching, the vehicle is decelerated for 1.0 km/h below the previous set speed.
If you want to decelerate for 10 km/h, operate the tap-down switching ten times without the brake pedal
intervention. 1.

4) Recovery of Set Speed (RESUME)
Even if the cruise control is cancelled, the previous set cruise speed can be recovered by pulling up the
cruise control lever when the current vehicle speed is over 36 km/h without an acceleration intervention.
But if you turn off the ignition switch, the memorized set speed is cleared and you cannot recover the
previous set speed.
But the driver should know the previous set speed to react to the changed vehicle speed properly. If the
vehicle speed increases abruptly, depress the brake pedal to adjust the vehicle speed properly.
