Cruise Control Lever

The cruise control (FGR) is a function of the DME (ECM) and has multi-speed storing capability on the E65.

This new multi-speed function allows the driver to program and store multiple speed settings which can then be activated as desired.

Frequently required speed settings such as 55, 65 or 70 mph can be selected directly at the touch of a button without having to drive the vehicle at precisely that speed beforehand.

This is a considerable added convenience. Those preset cruise control speeds are programmed by the driver in advance and then activated when driving. The memory can store up to 6 preset speeds.

The signal path for the cruise control switch is from the SZL to the SIM to the ZGM via the byteflight.

The signal then is placed on the PT-CAN by the ZGM and received by the DME (ECM).
