Cruise Control

The cruise control system allows you to maintain a steady speed within a specified range.

The available speed setting range and operating gear are listed below:

CRF1100A/A3/A4

Available Speed setting range

50 – 160 km/h (30 - 99 mph)

Operating gear

From 4th to 6th gear

CRF1100D/D3/D4/DL4

Available Speed setting range

50 – 160 km/h (30 - 99 mph)

Operating gear

From 3rd to 6th gear

When cruise control is on, your speed will still vary slightly, particularly going up and down hills.


Cruise control is intended for use only on straight, uncongested highways. Do not use cruise control on city streets, winding roads, during bad weather, or at any other time when you need total control of the throttle.

3WARNING

Improper use of the cruise control can lead to a crash in which you could be seriously hurt or killed.


Use the cruise control only when travelling on open highways in good weather.

    Each quick tap (brief push and release) on either side will change your speed by 1 km/h or 1 mph (depending on mileage meter set unit).

    Any speed other than the possible setting range will not be indicated (stops at the upper or lower limit speed).


    To Change the Set Speed Continuously

  • To increase the set speed: push and hold the cruise control lever to side.

    • The system will accelerate your vehicle automatically. When you reach the desired speed, release the cruise control lever.

    If the cruise control lever is pushed and held to side continuously, the set speed indicated in the multi-information display stops at the upper limit of the possible setting range.

  • To decrease speed: push and hold the cruise control lever to side. The system will automatically slow your vehicle. When you reach the desired speed, release the cruise control lever.

    • If the cruise control lever is pushed and held to side continuously, the set speed indicated in the multi-information display stops at the lower limit of the possible setting range.

  • Push and release the cruise control lever to side.


    • To Manually Increase Vehicle Speed
