Cruise Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. 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 controlled by the PCM. The cruise control system is designed to maintain a selected vehicle speed between 48 km/h (30 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. The cruise control system is controlled by the steering wheel mounted switches (ON, OFF, SET+, SET-, and RESUME), clutch pedal cruise control deactivator switch (manual transaxle), and the brake pedal. The steering wheel mounted switches are hardwired to the PCM.

It is normal for the engine RPM to increase slightly and then drop off slowly when the clutch pedal is applied during operation.

When a MyKey™ is in use and a MyKey™ Max Speed Limiter is turned on, vehicle speed cannot be set to exceed 80 mph (130 km/h).
