using the auto-cruise control system, the vehicle
oar-rbe maintained at a constant driving speed
[between 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher and 145 km
(90 mph) or lower], as selected by the driver,
without using the accelerator pedal.The actuator is the DC motor-driven type for a high
degree of adherence to the set speed. A flexiblesupport system is used for installation of the
actuator in order to prevent the transaxle of body
vibrations to the actuator.

During constant speed driving, the accelerator pedal is inactive and
the accelerator switch is turned ON.
Therefore, OFF signal is output from the auto-cruise control unitto the ELC

AUTOCRUISE CONTROL UNIT
Je auto-cruise control unit incorporates a micro-computer which provides the set coast, resume,
acceleration, cancel, low-speed limitation,
high-speed limitation, overdrive OFF control, and
auto-
matic cancellation functions. The microcomputer
inputs signals from the vehicle speed sensor and
the switches, and outputs Control signals to the
actuator’s DC motor, the electromagnetic clutch,and the automatic
.transaxle (4 A/T) control unit in
accordance with the programming (software) of themicrocomputer.

SET (COAST) SWITCH
When the SET (COAST) Switch is Depressed
The vehicle speed at the moment the SET switch
was switched from ON to Of
F is memorized as the
“set vehicle speed”,and thereafter the actuator is
controlled so that fixed-speed driving at that speed
is possible. The illustration below shows the timing
charts.
0 Initial pulse
The initial pulse is the pulse for opening thethrottle valve to a degree of opening
wk,approximately corresponds to the vehicle
speed; this pulse is output when the auto-cruise
control system is set.
l Trim pulse
The trim
pulse is a control pulse for correcting
the vehicle speed; this pulse is output at certain
fixed cycle intervals. The output pulse width is
determined based upon the amount of deviation
between the current vehicle speed and the set
vehicle speed, and upon vehicle speed

When the RESUME (ACCEL) Switch is Turned after the
Auto-cruise Control has been Canceled
When (after the auto-cruise control system is canceled by the
cancel signal) the RESUME switch is switched from OFF to ON
while driving at a vehicle speed which is the low-speed limit
[approximately 40 km/h (25 mph)] or higher, the vehicle speed
memorized before cancellation of the auto-cruise control
system will be controlled as the fixed speed.
Even if the vehicle speed is at or below the low-speed limit,
there can be a return
to: the set speed (before cancellation of
the auto-cruise control system) by using the accelerator to
increase the vehicle speed to 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher and
then switching the RESUME switch from OFF to ON.
Note that
jhe set speed (before cancellation of the auto-cruise
control system) will be erased from the memory circuit of the
control unit if the MAIN switch or ignition switch is switched
from ON to OFF or the vehicle speed is decreased to 35 km/h
(22 mph) or less, and thereafter the auto-cruise control system
will not operate even if the RESUME switch is turned ON.

LOW-SPEED LIMIT
There is automatic cancellation at or below the low-speed limit
vehicle speed [approximately 40 km/h (25 mph)].
HIGH-SPEED LIMIT
The vehicle cannot be driven at a fixed speed which is at or
higher than the high-speed limit [approximately 145 km/h
(90

if there is no input of the vehicle speed signal for a certain
fixed time (1 second or longer).
If the SET and RESUME control switches are switched ON
at the same time.
If the cancel switches (stop light switch, clutch switch or
inhibitor switch) and command switches (SET switch

if the actuator clutch driver (transistor) of the control unk
remains ON (short-circuit).

FUEL SYSTEM -Auto-cruise Control System14-65OVERDRIVE-CANCEL FUNCTION

%/hen, during fixed-speed driving, the actual vehicle
speed decreases to (or below) a speed which is a
certain fixed value below the memorized vehicle
speed, the overdrive is canceled temporarily for a
specified period of time and then the memorized
vehicle speed is restored within a short period of
time.
Overdrive is canceled under any of the following
conditions:
8 When the RESUME switch is being operated.
l When, during fixed-speed driving, the actual
vehicle speed decreases from the preset speed
by 1.25 km/h (0.8 mph) or more.
The arrow in the circuit diagram indicates the flow of
current with the OD switch in the ON position
(overdrive).In the Overdrive Mode
The control unit microcomputer Outputs an OD-ON
signal (HIGH) constantly, keeping transistor
Tr,turned ON. At this time, transistor
Tr, is also ON,
causing ON signal
IA to be output to the transaxle
control unit and maintaining the overdrive mode.
The Overdrive is Canceled
When the actual vehicle speed becomes less than
the set speed, the OD-ON signal (HIGH) is no longeroutput from the microcomputer and transistor
Tr, is
turned OFF. This causes transistor
Tr, to be turned
OFF and current
II: flowing by way of the OD switch
of the selector lever is cut off at transistor
Trl. As a
result, at that point the vehicle speed is controlled
by the
3-speed automatic transaxle.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL SWITCH OFF FUNCTION
The accelerator pedal switch senses the operating
condition of the accelerator pedal.
This function turns OFF the accelerator pedal switchin the auto-cruise control mode during which the
accelerator pedal is
inoperative (accelerator pedal
switch ON).In the auto-cruise control mode, the control
UP;+microcomputer outputs an ON signal (HIGH)
c,stantly, causing transistor
Tr, to be turned ON.
At this time, transistor
Tr2 turns OFF, causing ON
signal I from
.the A/r control unit to be shut off,
which results in the accelerator pedal switch being
turned OFF.
