Relevant for Ambiente, Trend, Trend Plus equipment without cruise control installed from the factory.
If suddenly your package does not include cruise control, then it will not be any problem to install it additionally. Moreover, we are not talking about third-party solutions, but about a completely original (factory version). The thing is that wiring for cruise control is already present on the car, regardless of its level of equipment.
Thus, all you need to do is install the cruise control and speed limiter control buttons (FINIS 5 324 720) and register the cruise control in the vehicle control module. After this, the cruise control will work as if it was installed from the factory.
Cost of installing cruise control and speed limiter(excluding the cost of the buttons on the steering wheel - you can buy them yourself) is 4,000 rubles .
If you have any questions, we will be happy to advise you and help you order cruise control buttons.
How does cruise control work on Mondeo 5?
Activation of cruise control is possible at speeds above 30 km/h, speed adjustment increments are 2 km/h. Those. If you turn on cruise control at a speed of 73 km/h, then using the buttons on the steering wheel you can increase the speed to 75-77 km/h and further, or vice versa, reduce it to 71-69 km/h and below.
It should be noted that although cruise control tries to maintain the required speed (and to be fair, it does this very well), it is a software traction control system and does not apply the car's brakes if the set speed is exceeded. For example, if you set the speed to 110 km/h, then on a steep descent the speed may increase to 112-113 km/h - you should take this into account and adjust the set speed in advance using the buttons on the steering wheel. In any case, the car will return to the previously set speed.
Cruise control responds both to buttons on the steering wheel and not to the gas and brake pedals. When you press the gas pedal, the car will accelerate above the set speed, i.e. there will be no difficulties when overtaking. At the end of the maneuver, if you did not turn off the cruise control, the car will simply return to the set constant speed. Depressing the brake pedal disengages cruise control but retains the last maintained speed setting, which is displayed on the instrument panel. If necessary, you can easily return to the set speed using a special button on the steering wheel.
Where can you use cruise control?
On the highway, on outbound highways with several lanes, on deserted highways - in a word, wherever it is convenient for you. The keys on the steering wheel allow you to control the speed of the car if necessary, as well as return to a constant speed in the event of emergency braking. At the same time, the stress associated with the need to maintain a constant speed is sharply reduced and fuel consumption is optimized.
Paired with cruise control, the speed limiter is also activated (the so-called limitator - from the English limit - restriction). The speed limiter does not allow the vehicle to accelerate beyond a certain speed under normal driving conditions. However, the limiter is switched off in kick-down mode, i.e. sharply pressing the gas pedal in the “pedal to the floor” mode - this allows you to fearlessly use this option on country roads - if you need to overtake, you can be sure that there will be no problems.
The limiter is activated at speeds from 30 km/h, the speed limit values are set using the buttons on the steering wheel in increments of 5 km/h. Those. If you turned on the limiter at a speed of 75 km/h, then the next possible limit will be at a speed of 80 km/h. If the specified speed is exceeded, the car will sound an audible signal, but the emergency braking will not be activated.
A little advice: if you want to limit the speed not a multiple of five, for example, if the speed limit is 60 km/h, set the limit to 58 km/h, so as not to exceed it for sure - turn on the limiter at a speed of 58 km/h - this will be the current limit. It is worth remembering that if you want to increase or decrease the speed limit using the buttons on the steering wheel, the system will return to a multiple of five measurement system, i.e. the next step after 58 will be 60, then 65 km/h and so on. If you again need a limit at a specific speed that is not a multiple of five, disable the limiter and reactivate it at the desired speed. This is especially convenient to do if you have a digital speedometer activated.
The speed limit function is very convenient to use in the city, especially in conditions of an increasing number of cameras. If your configuration does not include this option, then installing it will allow you to avoid unnecessary fines.

Cruise control is a system of electronic devices that allows you to maintain vehicle speed within the limits specified by the driver. This device allows the driver not only to relax and change position, but also to completely release the accelerator pedal. Installing cruise control is a popular service that gives the driver the opportunity to quickly eliminate the shortcomings of the original configuration of his car.
Installing cruise control on our website
Regarding this system, it is customary to use the following classification:
- passive cruise control. Being an inexpensive and fairly simple device, passive CC can only be used to maintain a constant vehicle speed.
- adaptive cruise control is a more modern version of the passive variation. This system can maintain a variable vehicle speed and is able to maintain a specified interval to the vehicle in front. Adaptive CC is used only on cars equipped with ESP and ABS, since it works in conjunction with them.
Installing cruise control is a difficult operation, the implementation of which is recommended to be entrusted to qualified specialists. Carrying out this procedure on your own can cause problems in other vehicle systems, including the aforementioned ESP and ABS.
To order any auto services for diagnostics, repair and/or installation of additional devices, the driver can always use our online platform.
Installing cruise control is accompanied by a number of nuances that the car owner should be aware of:
- firstly, CC systems cannot be installed on all engines. If the driver decides to carry out all the work himself, then before purchasing a set of devices he should consult with a specialist about the possibility of installing cruise control;
- secondly, only passive CC will require minimal effort, not requiring any additional devices besides the main ones. An adaptive system will definitely require the proper functioning of ABS and ESP, since without them its operation is not possible;
- thirdly, installing cruise control does not imply flashing the ECU: only the set of devices itself is installed.
In terms of activities carried out, the service may vary depending on the specifics of a particular situation. Installing cruise control on cars with automatic transmission is performed as follows:
- The brake sensor is changed. To do this, disconnect the wiring connector, turn the old sensor and carefully remove it, and while holding the pedal assembly in a raised state, install a new sensor. The latter is included in the set of KK devices, so you don’t have to buy it separately;
- Cruise control buttons are installed on the steering wheel, with which the driver will control the operation of the system. During the work, the airbag is dismantled, the rear steering wheel screw is unscrewed, the plug is removed, the buttons themselves are mounted and connected;
- testing activities are being carried out. After assembling all the disassembled elements, the performer starts the car and turns on the cruise control systems. If all vehicle instrument readings are within normal limits, then the work, as a rule, can be considered successfully completed.
Installing cruise control on cars with a manual transmission follows a similar principle, but may vary slightly in detail.
The advantages of the system are obvious:
- the driver gets tired much less, since he is freed from the need to keep his right leg in a constant position and constantly monitor the speed of the car;
- maintaining a constant speed has a beneficial effect on the fuel consumption of the vehicle;
- the safety of the driver, passengers and other road users increases.
If not properly maintained for a long period of time, however, the cruise control system can cause various road difficulties associated with the vehicle braking for no reason and similar problems.
Installing cruise control will not be advisable when operating a car exclusively in urban conditions, because the driver usually does not need to maintain a constant speed for a long time in such circumstances.
Cruise control will be an excellent solution for all those car owners who often or at least periodically go on trips in their vehicle. The actual advantages in this case significantly exceed the potential disadvantages.
Installation of cruise control and assistance from specialists
In order for the system to function properly for a long time, the installation process should be entrusted to qualified specialists. The latter will quickly and efficiently carry out all the necessary measures, fully taking into account the various nuances of a specific situation.
Installation of cruise control is a service that can always be ordered on our website. Together with us, the driver will quickly find a suitable car service in his city..
And finally, a video showing how to install cruise control.
The essence of your question
Hello! help me find a specialist to install cruise control on a Hyundai iX35 2010. in Krasnoyarsk tried to establish the result itself 0
Cruise control is a device for a car that maintains speed and helps reduce speed on slopes and increase speed on climbs. For car enthusiasts, such a system is convenient not only because it makes it possible to relax and change position, but also to release the accelerator pedal altogether. Nowadays, the cruise control buttons in cars are placed on the bullet wheel, so operating it is not much of a hassle. There is, however, a small flaw - this gadget is not designed for driving around the city, but is most likely intended for traveling outside the city. This block indicates how to install cruise control, we will consider all the functions (using the example of passenger cars), and we will describe why you should buy it.
This device is designed to stabilize a car at high speeds, which helps maintain the same speed indicators without using the accelerator. Cruise control should be called autopilot on the ground. The speed is maintained during launch and decreases during descent. When you press one or another pedal, the device turns off immediately.Using cruise control will not cause much trouble. After turning on, the indicator on the gadget lights up. Having accelerated the car, give a command using the appropriate switch, it will remember the speed, and then release the accelerator. Cruise control operates within the range of 45-135 km/h. Remember, it is better not to use this device in a metropolis. Installing cruise control will not hurt those motorists who often travel outside the city.The important components of the device are the auxiliary drive for the throttle valve, valves that control the vacuum servo, piping and vacuum system, vacuum servo, controller, controls for various system functions.In the motor manifold, a vacuum arises, which is used in the servo drive. The control monitors the valves of the servo drive and changes the vacuum behind its membrane, despite the speed differences of the car. The servo diaphragm interacts with the throttle valve. The speed indicator will be maintained by cruise control at a certain level during climbs or slopes, changing the level of fuel supplied to the engine.To prevent the system from turning on spontaneously at low speeds, a controller was developed. If you press the brake pedal, the system turns off because the controller's power connection is disconnected and the valve that communicates with the atmosphere becomes open.
The buttons that control the device are located in the center of the steering wheel and are usually accompanied by the inscription CRUISE.To safely use cruise control, there are the following modes that you need to know: OFF - turn off cruise control, ON - turn on cruise control, after which you need to set the vehicle's traction, its speed and turn on the device using SET, this button sets the system data for further work. Having indicated the speed of movement, hold SET, then stop pressing the accelerator - the car will continue to move, controlled by the device; the controller will regulate the speed, you will know about this by the CRUISE ENGAGED indicator.Cruise control should never be turned on on icy roads! There is a possibility of car skidding. Other system problems may include: problems with the controller and vacuum servo drive with electrical circuits, and the throttle valve. To prevent this from happening, check the pipeline, the servo drive rod and the tightness of the servo drive vacuum chamber.
Hi all! Today we’ll talk to you about what cruise control is in a modern car, why it is needed and how to install it on cars yourself.
We have already talked about the main essence and purpose of cruise control (CC) in the previous article. 'Cause I'll leave you , and you can follow it and read interesting and useful information. From it you will learn what cruise control means, what it is like and what its key features are.
In this material we focus on mechanics. That is, let's talk about how possible it is to equip the steering wheel with special buttons and connect equipment for the cruise to work if you have a manual one.
Many people believe that the system for maintaining a predetermined speed on a car is purely the prerogative of an automatic transmission. But you are wrong. Even in the standard brain of a car with a manual transmission, it is possible to install, if not active, but at least the simplest cruise control. The circuit is quite complicated, but if you understand how the device works, you can even do the work yourself.
Mechanics and cruise control
Not everyone has the opportunity to buy a car like the latest generation Toyota Camry, where adaptive cruise control is installed along with an automatic transmission. Someone also got an ordinary Vesta on their handle. But I still really want to equip the car with the function of maintaining a speed preset by the driver.
It is wrong to think that connecting to cars with cruise mechanics is something fantastic and impossible. If you figure it out and try hard, the function will appear on almost any car. Only you must first decide whether you need such a system, or no one will actually use it. Don't rush to spend money on something you won't need. Although the final decision is yours to make in any case. Your car, your rules.
Some systems such as , are already provided on many cars as standard from the factory. And here or the same automobile Often you have to buy and install separately. The question of their necessity in a car is as relevant as in the case of cruise control.
I don’t argue that the connection diagram for the CC on cars with automatic transmission is much simpler. Car manufacturers have provided for the possibility of installing the system from the factory. Therefore, to connect, it is enough to buy equipment and install it in accordance with standard locations.
But when we talk about manual transmission, things are somewhat more complicated here. If the CC is not provided by the factory, you can still install the device. To do this, install universal equipment with your own hands or the hands of craftsmen. Experienced car owners advise giving preference to German systems. Their price is higher, but you get the unit increased reliability. The overpayment is worth it. Only when purchasing, carefully check all the components and the possibility of returning the product if it does not fit.
Technically, you have to install an additional bracket and a special cable attached to the gas pedal, which makes it possible to maintain the speed at the specified values. Plus, buttons are mounted on the bottom of the deflector for control. But it will turn off whenever you press the gas pedal. Therefore, you will have to press the button again to activate the cruise.
Probability of full-time work
In functional terms, the CC installed on a car will differ little from a similar system on cars with automatic transmission. Therefore, it is not difficult to figure out how to enable or use the innovation.
The only question is why you need a cruise. Some only realize over time that it was a mistake to install such a system on the car. If you regularly drive on highways and highways where you can maintain one speed for a long time, then an additional lever responsible for cruise control will definitely not hurt. But when driving around the city in heavy traffic and constant stops, the cruise loses its relevance and becomes a completely unnecessary element.
This is the case with pre-launch for the engine. Drivers understand that they do not need them at all, since such systems are relevant only for the most severe climatic regions with cold winters. Although against the same I have nothing. A really useful assistant in case of poor visibility on the road.
If you need QC, it can be supplied quite quickly. In this case, management will not cause any difficulties. Check with your car service center to see if cruise can be installed specifically in your case. But practice shows that this is possible on almost any car.
But also keep in mind that there are some nuances here. Namely:
- Departures on the rise. With such an uphill movement, the car will not switch to a lower gear on its own with manual transmission. This will have to be done manually;
- To drive up a hill in 5th gear, you need to press the gas pedal yourself. Otherwise, you won’t get out on the climb;
- With a gradual decrease in the current speed of the vehicle (on the same rise), the CC will automatically “turn off” at around 40 kilometers per hour;
- If there is a RES button, the driver can reduce the speed by pressing it 2 times. If it is not there, you will need to press the gas pedal and determine the new required speed for the CC with the start button.
As you can see, there are some nuances here. But they are not critical.
That’s why you can increasingly find video instructions online where garage technicians talk about the features of self-installation of additional equipment. In the case of cruise control, I would advise contacting trusted specialists and certified workshops.
Tools and materials
Before installing the CC, be sure to check all components and safety systems of your machine for malfunctions. Otherwise, do not be surprised that the cruise does not turn on, or the car behaves inappropriately when trying to maintain the set speed.
To complete such a task will consist of:
- shaped screwdriver;
- sharp scissors or awl;
- knife;
- suitable sized heads;
- strong wrenches;
- self-tapping screws or good screws;
- cable for connecting the system;
- universal QC equipment;
- special bracket.
The bracket is required if the car is equipped with a sensor that regulates the position of the pedal responsible for accelerating (gas pedal). Then the bracket is connected to it. But in some cases the cable is already included with the cruise control. Therefore, check the package, and then collect all the necessary additional tools and materials.
Step-by-step installation
In general, installation usually takes no more than 2-3 hours. Some craftsmen can even do it in an hour. But keep in mind that then you have to check the operation of the system, correct any identified inaccuracies and make sure that all settings are correct.
Step by step it looks like this:
- Selecting a location for CC. Most car owners install the equipment near the fuel filter, since this way the unit easily connects to the brake hose. Choose any place, but it must be dry and with the possibility of connecting the cable from the gas pedal to this point. There should be no strong bends;
- Connecting the second cable to the gas pedal. Just don't cut off the excess right away. To begin, set the desired position on the installed sensor for monitoring the current position of the accelerator pedal, a special bracket, and only after that measure the required length of the cable. Now cut. The second end is brought and connected to the CC itself;
- To properly connect the system to the car, find the wiring from the tachometer to which the universal CC is connected. You need to connect the green wire coming from the QC ECU to the wire of your tachometer. A red wire is needed to connect to the feet;
- Setup button to turn the system on and off. It will correspond to double gray wiring. In order for the button to work correctly, ground must be connected (it runs along the black wiring);
- The KK control knob is located on the steering wheel, so you have to disassemble it yourself. If there are airbags, they must be disabled and removed in advance. The handle is placed on the steering wheel, and it is assembled in the reverse order.
