Cruise Control

Cruise Control

The cruise control (FGR) is a function of the ECM and has multi-speed capability on the E65/E66. This multi-speed tunction allows the driver to program and store multiple speed settings which can then be activated as required.

This means that speed settings such as 30, 50, or 65 mph can be selected directly at the touch of a button without having to drive the vehicle precisely at that speed beforehand. This is a considerable added convenience. Those preset cruise control speeds are programmed by the driver in advance and then activated when driving.




Briefly press/pull the lever to illuminate the cruise control mask in the speedometer. The memory will accept and store up to 6 preset speeds. When the cruise control is not active, the silhouette pointer indicates the last speed at which it was activated.

When the cruise control is active, the illuminated pointer indicates the speed that is currently being maintained. The cruise control can be activated at any speed from approximately 20 mph upwards.

When the ignition is switched OFF, the cruise control is switched off at the same time. Moving the lever up/down will deactivate the cruise control and delete the mask in the speedometer. The cruise control function is overridden by braking, selecting transmission setting "N" or active DSC intervention.

Cruise Control Lever: The cruise control is operated by the left lower steering column lever.




When the lever is pressed forward to (but not beyond) the detent, the current road speed is stored and maintained.

Flicking the lever forwards increases the vehicle road speed by approx. 1 mph at a time. If the lever is pressed and held, the vehicle accelerates. When the lever is then released, the speed is stored and maintained.

When decelerating, flicking the lever backwards repeatedly reduces the vehicle road speed by approx. 1 mph at a time. When the multi-speed function is activated, the preset speed indicators on the speedometer can be hidden. This is done by pressing and holding the cruise control lever up or down for more than 3 seconds.

Programming/Deleting Preset Speeds

Programming of preset speeds should be performed while the vehicle is stationary with KL15 switched "on". It is also possible to program the preset speeds while driving. However; altering the preset speed also alters the current speed being maintained.

To program a preset speed, the cruise control lever is pressed forwards or backwards beyond the detent. A pointer then appears on the speedometer that indicates the preset speed. To increase the preset speed, the cruise control lever must be pressed forward to the detent. To reduce the preset speed, the cruise control lever must be pulled backwards to the detent.

To store the preset speed, the slide switch (in the end of the lever) must be pressed and held in for at least 3 seconds. The stored preset speed is indicated by a pointer on the speedometer. A preset speed is deleted by selecting it using the cruise control lever and then pressing and holding the slide switch in for at least 3 seconds. The speed pointer then disappears.


NOTE: The preset cruise control speeds are a Vehicle Memory function.
