Cruise Control - Aston Martin DB 9 2013 Manual

Cruise Control

Cruise control can be used to maintain a selected vehicle speed,
above 30 km/h, without having to use the accelerator.
[1] RES: Resume the set speed
retained in memory.
[2] SET: Set the speed,
accelerate or decelerate.
[3] ON/OFF: Sets cruise control
to ON or OFF.
[4] CAN: Cancels cruise control
but keeps the set speed in
memory.
Operation
Warning: Only use cruise
control when conditions are favourable, for example, straight,
dry, open roads with light traffic.
Use the ON/OFF switch (3) to set cruise control ON and OFF. When
cruise control is ON 'CRUISE' will show in the message center (left).
When travelling at the desired speed, which must be above 30 km/h,
press SET (+ or –) (2). Cruise control will engage and maintain that
speed without the need to use the accelerator pedal.
4.16
Under certain conditions cruise control will automatically set to
OFF (Refer to 'Cruise Control Automatic OFF', page 4.17).
Cruise control will automatically disengage when the brake pedal
is pressed or when the vehicle speed falls below 30 km/h.
Changing the Set Speed
There are three ways to change the set speed:
• Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed then press SET (+
or –).
• Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed by pressing and
holding SET (+ or –) until the desired speed is obtained, then
release.
• Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed in steps of 2 km/h
by briefly pressing and releasing SET (+ or –) until the desired
speed is obtained.
Resuming the Set Speed
RES should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed
and intends to return to it.
It is not recommended to resume set speed when a low gear
is selected as excessive engine speeds will occur.
Cruise control will not resume at speeds below 30 km/h. RES will
not operate if the ignition has been set to OFF.
If the vehicle is accelerated above the set speed, then the set speed
will be resumed when the accelerator pedal is released.
If CAN (4) is pressed, or the brake or clutch pedal is pressed, cruise
control will disengage but the set speed memory will be kept. Press
RES (1) and the vehicle will return to the set speed.
