Standard Speed Control: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XKR, 2011 Jaguar XK, 2010 Jaguar XKR, and 2010 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The standard speed control system is integrated with the electronic engine control (EEC) system and uses fueling intervention to automatically maintain a set vehicle speed. Once engaged, the system can also be used to accelerate the vehicle without using the accelerator pedal.

The standard speed control system also uses inputs from the stoplamp switch, the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor, the engine control module (ECM) and the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module.

The standard speed control is operated by the driver using only the steering wheel switches. When standard speed control is active, the engine control module (ECM) controls the electronic throttle to adjust the fuel supply as required to maintain the set speed.

The minimum set speed for standard speed control is 18 mph (30 (km/h). Speed control is automatically suspended if the following conditions apply:

Vehicle speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h)
The brake pedal is pressed
The cancel button is pressed
Neutral, park or reverse gear is selected
The difference between actual speed and the set speed is too great
When the vehicle speed reaches a maximum speed of 120 mph (192 km/h)
If the accelerator pedal is used to accelerate beyond the set speed for too long.
