Cruise Control Specialists

Whether you are a private motorist or fleet operator, and you're looking for substantial savings and fuel economy, its time you looked at a Cruise Control system. Due to Cruise Control Specialists' advanced technology we can help drivers travel safely and arrive relaxed, while effectively reducing their vehicle's fuel consumption.

Cruise Controls are available in two operating systems:

Vacuum controlled actuator
Electric controlled actuator

All Cruise Controls are electronically controlled, most vehicles have a 'speed signal' built into them - that is what the Cruise Control monitors to tell the actuator to speed up or back off.

Vacuum Cruise Controls are the most popular, mostly because of the cheaper price.
Electric Cruise Controls are more suited to heavy vehicles, diesels, and turbo charged vehicles.

The Cruise Control switch is the only part of the system that is visible to the driver. Different switches are available to suit different applications.

		Cruise Controls can be fitted to most Australian and imported vehicles including Four Wheel Drives, Light Commercials, and many vehicles with electronic (Drive by Wire) throttle systems
		The Cruise Control constantly monitors the vehicle speed allowing you to concentrate on road conditions and drive in a more relaxed manner.
		All electronic operations are carried out in an instant by the latest software designed by engineers who design products for some of the largest OEM clients in the world.

How does it work?

It's simple...

The heart of the system is a microprocessor that memorises any speed chosen by the driver and by regulating a throttle actuator, enables the vehicle to be maintained at that constant speed.

This means that once a speed has been programmed by touching the SET button, your foot can be taken away from the accelerator pedal. Whether up or down hill, Cruise Control will adjust the throttle and hold the vehicle to the desired speed.

For safety reasons, a Cruise Control does not operate at low speeds (normally under 30km/h). It can be switched on or off at will and is immediately and automatically disconnected by pressing the brake pedal or, manual vehicles, by changing gear.

Touching the RESUME button will cause the vehicle to accelerate until it has reached the last set speed.

The throttle actuator operates by vacuum whereby a signal from the microprocessor will cause the vacuum-servo to "inhale" and thus, to open the throttle and allow the vehicle to accelerate. Conversely a signal to decelerate will cause the vacuum-servo to "exhale" and thereby reduce power to the engine.

The Cruise Control system will help prevent accidental speeding. Because it opens and closes the throttle on a gentle vacuum principle, avoiding abrupt movements, it can also help with reducing fuel consumption.
