Installation and user instructions

General Description

This cruise control improves the economic performance and is an aid to more relaxed driving. It is

suitable for all cars and light vans regardless of fuel type, automatic or manual. It is easy to install

yourself in less than one hour with no need for special tools. Follow the instructions step by step, all

the necessary installation parts are included. (See diagrams below).

Warning: Be sure that the control cable

does not kink or come in contact with any

sharp edges especially when entering the

engine compartment, and do not bend too

sharply as this will hinder smooth and

reliable operation.

Installation (see diagram 1)

Step 1.

Fit the cruise control unit (1) to an easy to operate position i.e. under the steering column or on the

dashboard, using the self tapping screws (4) use the template for correct position of holes or the

double sided adhesive foam pad (2) for smooth surfaces only.

Step 2.

To adjust the length of the inner-cable (see diagram)

a) Switch to “OFF”.

b) Pull the inner-cable to its full extent then let it slip back 10 mm. Switch back to “ON”. This will secure

the inner-cable in the correct position.

Step 3.

Connect the inner-cable either to the carburettor or to the linkage between accelerator pedal and

carburettor by using the included parts (optional 12, 13 or 14 in combination with 10 or 11) 10 or 11

are secured by crimping with a pair of

pliers. On larger diesel engines with stronger return springs, try to attach the cable at a point as far

away from the point of pivot as possible to obtain a greater mechanical advantage. The optimum being

about 60mm. Choose which connection is best suits your vehicle from diagram a, to f.

Step 4.

Fix the outer-cable by using either the clamp (6,7,8 & 9) or preferably the outer-cable stopper (5) see

diagram 3 or 4.

Step 5.

Now connect the black lead wire to “earth” and the red lead wire to the (non constant positive side)

brake lamp circuit. (LED deluxe version connect the green wire to a constant positive source.) Now

tidy up cable run with cable clips

supplied.

Step 6.

Finally switch back to “OFF”. Suggestion: If in the future you wish to transfer your cruise control to the next car, it is a good idea not to use accessory 10 or 11 but instead use the inside of a connector block (electrical) so it is only a question of unscrewing. Never shorten the accelerator cable. Instructions to set Step 1. Accelerate to desired speed with switch in “Off” position. Step 2. On reaching your desired speed, switch to “ON”. Step 3.
