Cruise Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Fiesta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cruise control system consists of the following components:
- Clutch pedal cruise control deactivator switch (manual transaxle only)
- Cruise control deactivator switch
- Cruise control indicator
- Cruise control switch
- Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)
- Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
- Stoplamp switch
- PCM
During normal driving, the vehicle speed may vary slightly from the set speed due to road conditions. The vehicle speed may vary or 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.
For manual transaxle vehicles, it is normal for the engine rpm to increase slightly and then drops off slowly when the clutch pedal is pressed during operation.
