(2) Using the Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control works on hills depends on the speed, load, and the steepness of the hill.

When going up steep hills, you may have to depress the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. 

When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down.

Applying the brake takes you out of the cruise control.

And the cruise control system cannot be operated again in driving state. In this case, you should stop 

the vehicle, and turn off the ignition switch and then turn it on again. After you do that, you can use the 
cruise control system again. But if the cruise control system isn’t recovered, you should contact 

a Ssangyong Dealer for diagnosis of the cruise control system.

Abnormal changes of the gear selector lever can damage the engine. Do not move the gear shift 

lever to Neutral while driving at the set speed. Automatic transmission damage may result.

The speed that has been set may not be maintained on uphill or downhill slopes.

The speed may drop to less than the set speed on a steep uphill grade. The accelerator must be 

used if you want to maintain that speed.

The speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill grade. When the speed 

increases too much, turn off the cruise control.

(1) Abnormal Cancellation of the Cruise Control

When the rapid deceleration is applied without braking.

When the rapid acceleration is applied without acceleration pedal intervention.

When the cruise control lever is failed.

When the brake switch and the brake light switch input signal are implausible.

1. CAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRICAL UNITS

80℃

10A

15A

Disconnect the negative cable from the 

battery in advance when working on electrical 

units.

-

Make sure to turn "OFF" the ignition switch 

and other lamp switches before 

disconnecting or connecting the negative 

battery cable. (Otherwise, semiconductor 

parts can be damaged.)

Do not drop or appy excessive impact to 

sensors and relays.

-

If a fuse is blown, replace it with a fuse which 

has the correct amperage rating. If you use a 

fuse with higher capacity than the 

specification, the component can be 

damaged or catch fire.

Make sure a connector is connected 

securely. Loose connection results in 

malfunction.

-

When inspecting the airbag system, make 

sure to use a diagnostic device, not a circuit 

tester.

When disconnecting a connector equipped with 

a lock, press it down to the direction in the below 

figure.

-

When checking voltage or continuity of the 

connector terminal with a circuit tester, 

connect the tester probe to the terminal at the 

harness side. For a sealed type connector, 

connect the probe to the terminal through the 

hole in the rubber cap of the wiring. Take 

care not to damage the insulation of the 

wires. Insert the probe until it contacts the 

terminal completely.

2. CHECKING CABLES AND WIRES

Check for loose connection or rust.

Check terminals and wires for corrosion due to electrolyte leakage.

Check terminals and wires for open circuit.

Check the wire insulation and coat for damage, cracks or deterioration.

Check if the conductive parts of the terminals do not contact with vehicle body or other metal

parts.

Check that the grounding part has continuity with mounting bolts and vehicle body.

Check that wires are properly routed.

Make sure that wires are securely fixed to avoid contact with sharp body parts and hightemperature

parts, such as the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipes.

The rotating parts, such as fan pulley and fan belt, perturbative parts and wiring should be

secured tightly at regular intervals.

Secure the wiring between the fixed parts, such as the vehicle body, and vibrating parts, such

as the engine, after slackening it slightly to prevent it from being damaged.
