Cable harness
The signal pick-up is always depends on the type of transmission used by the vehicle.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
The blue cable should be used, which must be connected herewith for the transfer of the
cruise signal. In no event may a speed signal be used. No additional overspeed
protection is necessary for vehicles with automatic transmission. See also the paragraph
on determining the appropriate cruise signals. If an appropriate cruise signal cannot be
detected at the vehicle, then the optional magnet sensor kit or the optional cruise pulse
generator may be fitted (see optional accessories on page 65).
Vehicles with manual transmission
The best solution at vehicles with manual transmissions is the allocation of the blue cable
to the cruise signal and the use of the yellow cable as overspeed protection by means of
speed signal or clutch switch. See also the paragraph on determining the appropriate
cruise impulse signals. If an appropriate cruise signal cannot be detected, then the
optional magnet sensor kit or the optional cruise pulse generator can be fitted. If a cruise
signal cannot detected in the vehicle, then the blue cable may be allocated with the
speed signal or the yellow cable can be connected to the negative terminal of the ignition
coil (terminal 1). With this solution additional overspeed protection is no longer required,
since the engine speed is monitored herewith by the cruise control. When using a speed
signal the minimum speed for activation of the cruise control depends on the gear the
vehicle is at that moment.
Pick-up of the cruise or speed signal
There are different ways to pick up the speed or cruise signal for cruise control. In the
following section, there are different ways of identifying the signal.
