2013 SSANGYONG KORANDO cruise control

8530-00
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 38 km/h (24
MPH) and less than 150 km/h (90 MPH). In the vehicle equipped with manual transaxle, the gear shift
lever should be in 3rd (GSL: 2nd) or higher gear position.
Diesel engine equipped vehicle: When the desired speed is reached, press CRUISE ON (3) switch of
cruise control lever.
Gasoline engine equipped vehicle: When the desired speed is reached, press CRUISE ON (3) switch
of cruise control lever. The system is readyreadyreadyready to activate the cruise control function. To
activate the cruise control function, push up (1) the ACCEL switch of the cruise control lever.
Now, the vehicle is cruised by this system with the set speed.
And you can set to other vehicle speeds again with above steps after an accelerator pedal intervention
during the cruise control running. 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) While the cruise control system is not running
Accelerate using the accelerator pedal over 38 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
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 by 1.0 km/h over the previous set
speed.
If you want to accelerate to 10 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 38 km/h.
When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. 1.
2.
(2) When the cruise control system is not running
Push down the DECEL 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. But the cruise control system cannot maintain
the cruise function at less than 38 km/h.1.

(3) Tap-down while the cruise control system is running
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 by 1 km/h below the previous set
speed.
If you want to decelerate to 10 km/h, operate the tap-down switching ten times without the brake
pedal intervention. 1.

4) Recovery of Set Speed (RESUME)
To cancel the cruise control function, pull the cruise switch toward you.
The resume position should only be used if the driver is fully aware of this speed and wishes to
resume this particular speed.

5) ECO Cruise Control
ECO cruise is ready and ECO cruise indicator on the instrument cluster comes on when pushing down
the cruise control lever. To activate the ECO cruise mode, push down the cruise control lever again. To
cancel the ECO cruise mode while in operation, push down the cruise control lever again. The ECO
cruise mode is canceled and the indicator goes out.
What is ECO Cruise mode?
In this mode, the smooth acceleration to the set cruise speed can be achieved by optimized fuel
consumption.

6) Normal Cancellation of the Cruise Control
The cruise control system will be canceled when one or more items of the following conditions are
applied;
When the brake pedal is depressed.
When the cruising speed is decreased less than 38 km/h.
When pushing the ON-OFF switch of the cruise control lever.
When ESP is activated.
When applying the parking brake while driving.
When using the clutch in order to shift (M/T only).
To cancel the cruise control function, pull the cruise switch toward you. (GSL only). 1.

Keep the main cruise control switch in the neutral position when not using the cruise control. And the cruise control system can be operated again in driving state.

Abnormal changes of the gear selector lever can damage the yyengine. Do not move the gear shift
lever to Neutral while driving at the set speed. Automatic transaxle damage may result.
The speed that has been set may not be maintained on uphill or yydownhill slopes.
The speed may drop to less than the set speed on a steep uphill yygrade. The accelerator must be
used if you want to maintain that speed.
The speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep yydownhill grade. When the speed
increases too much, turn off the cruise control. 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 (DSL only).
When the cruise control lever is failed (DSL only).
When the brake switch and the brake light switch input signal are implausible. 1.

And the cruise control system cannot be operated again in driving state. In this case, you should stop the
vehicle, and turn off the ignition switch and then turn it on again. After you do that, you can use the cruise
Ssangyong Dealer for diagnosis of the cruise control system.
(2) Using the Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends on the speed, load, and the steepness of the hill.
When going up steep hills, you may have to depress the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed.
When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down.
Applying the brake takes you out of the cruise control.
