Abstract
An automatic vehicle cruise speed control system having an electronic control unit for controlling the engine throttle valve in accordance with the vehicle speed to maintain the speed at a substantially constant value. In an operation on a slope, the transmission gear stages are shifted down to a lower stage when the actual vehicle speed is deviated from a desired speed by more than a predetermined value consecutively for a first time period and shifted up to a higher stage when the actual speed is recovered so that the speed deviation is smaller than the predetermined value for a second time period which is greater than the first time period.
