Overview

The cruise control system is controlled by the PCM and the IPC. The cruise control system maintains the selected vehicle speed between 30 km/h and the maximum restricted vehicle speed. When a MyKey® restricted key is used and the maximum speed limiter is enabled, the vehicle speed is limited. The maximum vehicle speed can be set to 105 km/h, 113 km/h, 121 km/h or 129 km/h.

The cruise control system is controlled by the steering wheel switches (ON/OFF, SET+, SET- and CAN/RES), the brake pedal inputs and the CPP switch (manual transmission). The cruise control switches are hard-wired to the IPC. The IPC sends an HS-CAN message to the PCM to control the cruise control system. The clockspring provides the electrical interface between the steering column wiring and the cruise control switches on the steering wheel.
