The cruise control module adjustments are pre-set. If all other components of the system appear to be functioning normally and the cruise control remains inoperative, perform the following adjustments to determine if the module is functional. CAUTION: The adjustment potentiometers are extremely delicate. Insert the screwdriver into the slots very carefully and do not push hard or turn hard against the stops. The potentiometer has a maximum turning angle of 270 degrees (three-quarter turn).

Verify the cruise control module is not working by using the indicated settings (Fig.2)
(1) Turn the sensitivity adjustment full clockwise (3).
(2) Turn the low speed adjustment to the 10 o'clock position (2).
(3) Turn the centering adjustment to the 10 o'clock position (1).

The adjustments may not be precisely correct for the automobile, but will be acceptable to determine if the regulator is functioning. The need for more precise adjustments can be determined by a road test. If the adjustments have no effect on the cruise control operation, replace the regulator. The regulator is the only component of the system that cannot be isolated and tested separately.

CENTERING ADJUSTMENT [single pot on one side]
Adjustment is made by turning the centering adjustment screw on the regulator. If the controlled speed is more than 3 km/h (2 mph) above or below the "Set Speed", turn the CENTERING ADJ.;
• counterclockwise to decrease
• clockwise to increase
Check for proper centering adjustment by engaging the cruise control on a level road after each adjustment.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
The SENSITIVITY ADJ. is on the opposite side of the regulator from the CENTERING ADJ. If sensitivity needs to be adjusted turn the SENSITIVITY ADJ:
• counterclockwise to decrease
• clockwise to increase
Changes in the sensitivity setting affect centering, so if sensitivity is changed, check the centering again and adjust as required.

LOW SPEED SWITCH (ENGAGEMENT) ADJUSTMENT
If the Low Speed Setting is not between 43 and 53 km/h (27 and 33 mph) turn the LOW SPEED SW.ADJ. screw:
• counterclockwise to lower or slow the speed
• clockwise to increase or raise the speed

There are three adjustments to the AMC Cruise Control. I have already mentioned centering. The other two are sensitivity and low speed cut off.

Here is the method I used to adjust the cruise control in my 1984 Eagle:

1) Find a lightly traveled road where a 50 mile per hour speed is not unusual and continues for several miles.

2) Place all adjustments to their mid-point.

3) Adjust the low-speed cut in so the cruise control will not engage below 28 mph.

4) Adjust centering so the cruise control controlled speed is 1/2 (0.5) MPH above set speed. This pulls the pedal away from your foot ever so slightly when you engage the cruise control.

5) Adjust sensitivity so the cruise control operates smoothly, and does not allow the speed to vary wildly up or down before compensating.

When adjusted properly, the cruise control works quite well. Speed will vary a bit going up and down hill, but on level roads will hold speed rock-steady. If your unit isn't quite perfect on the level, do the best you can and then use the unit. The unit seems to work better the more it is used.

ou se trouve ce contact au mercure exactement ? au niveau du "poumon" ?

mon pote PSAMAN m'a également parlé du contact désactivant le régulateur lorsqu'on touche à la pédale de frein.

j'avais déjà contrôlé précédemment le capteur qui fonctionnait parfaitement, je vais le re-contrôler, naturellement
