Adding cruise control to a Suzuki Alto
Alto owners chose a car that sips fuel, and plenty now ask it to do much more than the weekly shop. Once a little car like this starts doing dual carriageway commutes, the lack of a speed hold gets old very quickly.
Tiny engine, steady right foot
A small engine needs a fair bit of throttle to hold motorway pace, and the driver ends up feeding it constantly. On a fifty mile run that is a lot of ankle work for a car that is otherwise easy to live with.
Why owners give up on the idea
Most Alto drivers assume cruise is something only bigger cars get, or that adding it means cables and a throttle actuator under the bonnet. They live with it instead, and the car gets sold on sooner than it needed to be.
A small module for a small car
CAN KONTROL CRUISE lifts its information directly from the Alto's data network. The engine bay gains no extra mechanical parts. Chorley is where your unit gets its Alto programming, and if that ever needs changing, the update costs nothing.

Questions about the Suzuki Alto
- Is the Alto too basic for an electronic add-on like this?
- Not necessarily. What matters is the data the car broadcasts, not how many gadgets it came with. Your Alto's age and engine are the two details that decide it, and an engineer reviews both before anything is built.
- How would I switch it on and off?
- Driver controls vary, so they are picked together with you ahead of programming. Mention whether the car has any steering wheel buttons already.
- Could the garage down the road install it?
- Usually, yes. Independent garages fit a lot of what we supply, with an engineer at our end if they get stuck.
