Speed Control - V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0 L Petrol - Overview (G1245464): Overview: Notes

There are two variants of speed control available, a standard system and an adaptive system. The standard system maintains a set speed selected by the driver until operation is suspended or cancelled by a further input from the driver and is controlled by the ECM (engine control module). The adaptive system includes the same functionality as the standard system, but also has the ability to:

• Reduce vehicle speed, to less than the set speed, in order to maintain a selected distance behind a slower moving vehicle
• Accelerate the vehicle back to the set speed, once the way ahead is clear, after reducing the set speed because of a slower moving vehicle
• Alert the driver when the vehicle comes within a given distance of a slower moving vehicle.
