Cruise control

cruise control Upgrade

Commonly referred to as Speed Control, Cruise Control is an automated system that manages your vehicle’s speed. By taking command of the throttle, this system maintains a consistent speed as determined by the driver. Moreover, it can serve as a means to cap the vehicle’s speed, aiding in preventing speeding fines or license points.

Utilising an “arm” affixed to the steering wheel, cruise control settings are adjusted and activated. This control allows for setting and clearing speeds, altering speeds, and configuring a speed memory for automatic activation when desired.

Disengaging cruise control is easily achieved by applying the brake or deactivating it through the speed control arm.
