CRUISE CONTROL WITH ELECTRIC ACTUATOR The electric actuator type cruise control system was introduced on the BMW 733i and 528e models in 1982. From 1983 all six-cylinder models will use this type. The system is designed to operate at between 20 and approximately 90 mph. An electronic control unit (E.C.U.) controls an electric actuator which maintains the desired road speed via the throttle linkage. Driver control is through a three-function switch operated by a lever mounted on the right side of the steering column behind the wiper lever. Pushing the lever forward in the CONST position engages the system and the car will accelerate until the lever is released. The E.C.U. contains a memory circuit which will hold the speed that exists when the lever is released from the CONST. position. Momentary operation of the lever in the CONST. position will also cause engagement and lock the prevailing speed into the memory. Cruise control may be disengaged in any of five different ways; momentarily moving the control switch up or down to OFF, applying the foot brake, shifting the automatic transmission to neutral, depressing the clutch, or whenever the actual speed drops more than 15 mph below the memory speed. Following disengagement, the car can be returned to the previously selected speed by pulling the control lever to RESUME. The memory circuits in the E.C.U. are reset whenever the lever is moved to CONST, but the only time the memory is cleared is when ignition is turned off. The E.C.U. receives a processed signal from the electronic speedometer, which is equivalent to actual road speed. Consequently, speedometer problems will affect cruise control.

CRUISE CONTROL The BMW cruise control is designed to operate between 20 and approximately 90 mph. An electronic control unit (E.C.U.) controls a vacuum operated servo unit which actuates the throttle linkage to maintain the required road speed. Drive control is through a three function switch operated by a lever mounted on the right side of the steering column behind the wiper lever. Pushing the lever forward in the CONST position engages the system and the car will accelerate until the lever is released. The E.C.U. contains a memory circuit which will hold the speed that exists when the lever is released from the CONST position. Momentary operation of the lever in the CONST position will also cause engagement and lock the prevailing speed into the memory. Cruise control may be disengaged in any of five different ways: momentarily moving the control switch up or down to OFF, applying the foot brake, shifting the transmission to neutral, or whenever the actual speed drops more than 7 mph below the memory speed. Following disengagement, the car can be returned to the previously selected speed by pulling the control lever to RESUME. The memory circuits in the E.C.U. are reset whenever the lever is moved to CONST but the only time the memory is cleared is when ignition is turned off.
