Description:
Cruise control allows the comfort and convenience of
automotive type cruise control, complete with “bump”
speed settings (“Bump Cruise” allows the operator
to change the vehicle speed in 1 MPH (1.6 km/h)
increments by “bumping” the Accel or Decel switch).
While in cruise mode, the ECM monitors and maintains
vehicle speed at a set value. Additionally, the use of
an engine retarder while the cruise control is “On”
has three programmable modes to match your braking
method. The retarder can also be programmed to
automatically turn on when the truck exceeds the cruise
set speed while going down hill.
Advantages:
Using cruise control can reduce driver fatigue and
improve fuel economy when used correctly. Caterpillar’s
SoftCruise speed control can provide a smoother ride
and additional fuel economy. The SoftCruise feature is
most benefi cial in rolling terrain.
