Cruise Control - Overview: Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Continental. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The cruise control system is controlled by the PCM.

The cruise control mode is selected from the steering wheel mounted switches (ON/OFF, SET+, SET- and CAN/RES), which are integrated into the LH steering wheel switch.

For vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control, the cruise control mode is selected from the steering wheel mounted switches (ON/OFF, SET-, RES+ and CAN [CNCL]). The gap setting is selected from the steering wheel switch <---> (GAP increase) and <-> (GAP decrease).

The cruise control system maintains a selected vehicle speed between 32 km/h (20 mph) (or 30 km/h [19 mph] if equipped with a metric cluster) and 200 km/h (124 mph) (base cruise) or 180 km/h (112 mph) (adaptive cruise control). When a MyKey ® restricted key is in use and max speed limiter is turned on, vehicle speed is limited to 129 km/h (80 mph).

During normal driving, the vehicle speed can vary slightly from the set speed due to road conditions. The vehicle speed can 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.
