Cruise Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cruise control system consists of the following components:
- Cruise control switches
- Cruise control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch)
- Stoplamp switch
- Cruise control indicator
- Clutch pedal cruise control deactivator switch (manual transaxle)
- PCM
- Electronically-controlled throttle body
- Clockspring
The cruise control system is electronically controlled by the PCM. The cruise control system is designed to maintain a selected vehicle speed between 40 km/h (25 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed.
During normal driving, the vehicle speed may vary slightly from the set speed due to road conditions. The vehicle speed may fluctuate when driving up and down a steep hill. If the vehicle speed decreases more than 16 km/h (10 mph) below the set speed, the cruise control disengages.
