STARTING & DRIVING
Pressing the "Set" button (6 in figure) will activate the ASL
system and set the speed limit. The ASL indicator lamp in
the instrument pack will illuminate.
Suspending ASL
When ASL is active, to suspend the feature press the
"Cruise Standby" button (4) and the ASL system will exit
to the standby state returning control to the accelerator
pedal.
When activated if the vehicle speed is greater than the
user inputted target speed the system will immediately
begin to slow the vehicle to the inputted target.
Note: When suspended via the "Cruise Standby"
button (4) the previously inputted target speed will be
retained within the system memory in the case that
the system is reactivated.
Kick Down
With the system active if it is necessary to accelerate the
vehicle e.g. overtaking manoeuvre, the system can be over
ridden by pressing the accelerator pedal passed a kick down
position. The kick down position is approximately at the
overall accelerator pedal travel pressed. Once the kick
down position has been reached the ASL system enters a
standby state and returns the vehicle operation to the user,
accelerating according to the demand from the accelerator
pedal.
Resuming ASL
If the system has been placed in a standby state with a
retained target speed the system can be reactivated to the
previously stored target speed by pressing the "Set" button.
Note: After the ignition is switched OFF, the target
speed previously stored will be erased. In the interest
of economy and safety, it is recommended to select
different target speeds according to different driving
and road conditions.
After a kick down event, once the vehicle speed has
dropped below the target speed originally controlled to,
the ASL system will automatically resume and control the
vehicle to the target speed retained within the system.
