Cruise Control System Operation

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Onboard computer

Cruise control is an electronic system that allows automatic speed regulation of a car. Once the desired speed is selected, it is maintained, depending on the vehicle's conditions. You can also increase or decrease the set speed by pressing two buttons, and if, for example, you decide to overtake another vehicle, pressing the accelerator pedal will increase the speed, which will return to the previously set speed only when you stop accelerating. The system deactivates if the brake, clutch, handbrake is pressed, a safety system (VDC, ASR, etc.) is activated, or if there are electrical circuit failures.
