Standard Speed Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover, 2017 Land Rover Range Rover, and 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ENGAGE SPEED CONTROL

Speed control is engaged by pressing the SET + switch. On receipt of the switch input, the ECM adopts the current vehicle speed as the speed control set speed. When speed control is engaged the instrument cluster illuminates the speed control warning indicator and the set speed is displayed in the message center.

The set speed is cleared when the ignition is switched off or if the speed control system develops a fault.

SET SPEED ADJUSTMENT

Once engaged the set speed can be increased by one of 3 methods:

Press and hold the SET + switch which will cause the vehicle to accelerate. When the switch is released the attained speed will be the new set speed.
Repeatedly pressing the SET + switch. Each press increases the vehicle speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. Once the required speed is reached, a single press of the SET + switch will set the cruise speed.

The set speed can be reduced by pressing and holding the decelerate - switch until the required speed is reached. When the switch is released the speed is reset at that value. The set speed can be reduced incrementally by pressing and releasing the decelerate - switch. Each press will reduce the speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).

Speed control adjustment is limited around the current vehicle speed. This means speed adjustment won't occur when resuming or if the vehicle speed is noticeably different to set speed. This is noticeable when resuming speed control and a large difference exists between the set speed and the current speed. The driver can set a new speed, but can't adjust the old speed.

SUSPENDING SPEED CONTROL

Suspending speed control means speed control has been deactivated without loss of the set speed. Speed control is suspended when one of the following occurs:

Vehicle speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h)
The brake pedal is pressed
The CANCEL switch is pressed
N (neutral), R (reverse) or P (park) is selected on the TCS (transmission control switch)
The EPB (electronic parking brake) is applied
If the accelerator pedal is used to accelerate beyond the set speed for too long (more than 5 minutes)
Engine speed too high (cancel limit set just below red line)
The ABS control module activates ETC (electronic traction control) or DSC (dynamic stability control)
HDC is selected
Terrain Response® adopts a special program other than grass/gravel/snow
The transfer case is selected to low range.

RESUMING SPEED CONTROL

A single press of the RES switch will resume speed control at the memorized set speed.
