The speed of a vehicle including a transmission operable under driver control and speed control apparatus is controlled by detecting the disengagement of the transmission clutch during a driver actuated gear change, disabling speed control on disengagement of the clutch, detecting re-engagement of the clutch, and re-enabling speed control. The system (10) determines whether speed control prior to disengagement of the clutch was in a normal mode or a resume mode and returns to the mode active prior to disengagement (102). If the normal mode was active, the vehicle is first accelerated to the set speed at a rate determined as a function of the difference between the vehicle and set speeds (104). If the resume mode was active, the vehicle is accelerated to the set speed on the basis of the difference between the vehicle and set speeds and as a function of the vehicle speed (106). <IMAGE> |
