| Fig. 13.59. Check of a free wheeling of a cable drive control system for maintaining constant speed
|
Upon detection of faults in the system, check the fuse, the connection of the vacuum hose drive and condition, adjust the drive control cable. Free wheeling of a cable drive control in the off position should be 10-30 mm (Fig. 13.59). On vehicles with a manual transmission clutch pedal switch off the cruise control speed by pressing the clutch pedal. If you need to replace the switch, do not forget that it depends on the installation height of the clutch pedal. Turn so that the clutch pedal and the brakes were on the same level, then secure with the lock nut. Any other fault in the system, cruise control should be addressed in the workshop.
