Cruise Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. 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 (integral to the steering wheel switch)
Cruise control indicator
Clockspring
Electronically-controlled throttle body (gasoline engines)
PCM
Stoplamp switch
Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) (located on the steering column)

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.

When a My Key™ is in use vehicle speed is limited to 130 km/h (80 mph).
