Cruise Control
The following description applies to buses with Electronic
Diesel Control only.
The EDC internal test must be performed before cruise con-
trol can be engaged (see section ”Starting the engine” in
this chapter).
Max and min speed limits for cruise control depend on how
the control unit is programmed.
Press briefly on the toggle switch ”SET+” position once the
bus has reached the desired speed. The slide switch should
be ”ON”. The bus will now try to retain the speed it had when
the button was released.
The set speed can be increased by pressing the ”SET+”
button again or reduced by pressing ”SET–”.
Cruise control can be disengaged by moving the slide
switch to ”OFF” or by pressing either the brake pedal or the
clutch pedal.
Make a practice of always using the brake or clutch peal
to disengage cruise control.
This is so that you will react
automatically in a critical situation with as few actions as
possible.
Cruise control is also disengaged if the retarder is activated
or if the accelerator pedal is depressed manually to a posi-
tion corresponding to a speed greater than the current
cruise control setting for longer than two minutes.
The control unit stores the latest speed setting during the
trip. This can be restored by moving the button to
”RESUME”, provided the speed has dropped below the pro-
grammed minimum speed for the resume function.

The retarder interacts with the cruise control system on bus-
es with G8-EGS gearbox and hydraulic retarder. Read more
about this on page 55.
Make sure the switch is ”ON”
