Ford Escape: Cruise Control / Description and Operation - Cruise Control - Overview

Overview

The cruise control system is controlled by the PCM .

The cruise control mode is selected from the steering wheel mounted switches which are integrated into the steering wheel. Refer to Owners Literature for additional information.

The cruise control system maintains a selected vehicle speed between 32 kmh (20 mph) or 30 kmh (18 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. When a MyKey® restricted key is in use and maximum speed limiter is turned on, vehicle speed is limited to 129 kmh (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 kmh (10 mph) below the set speed, the cruise control disengages.
