How fast do you need to be going before using the cruise control?
It seems to me, that when I was a kid, the CC stopped working in my mom's car when I had set it at a speed of around 35 mph.
(stupid kid ) I realize it's probably listed in my owners manual.

 

It is somewhere in the 30 or 35 mph area... can't recall exactly, but it IS there.

 

From 2003 owner's manual:

"The vehicle speed must be at or above 48 km/h (30 mph)."

 

Thanks for the info !! I assume it would say the same in my 2000 manual.

 

I have used cruise control at 140mph. Pretty cool when your looking for things in the truck so you don’t have to worry about the gas peddle…

 

I don't go by the manual for some things, I just push the buttons.

My 1999 holds at 25 mph, I haven't tried lower than that.

There may have been some liability reasons why cruises were defunct below 35. Can't think of a mechanical reason it wouldn't hold at lower speeds.

Maybe the reason was so the vehicle couldn't be used as a guided missile. You would be less likely to bail (unscathed anyway) from a vehicle doing 30-35 mph.

 

The lowest my 98 will hold at is 25mph

 

Your truck will do 25 mph?

I thought that pic was just photoshop.

I think you have been exposed to too many news stories about car bombs in Iraq.

 

cruise works at 130mph+




or something...

 

Really???? Cool, I got to try that.

 

LOL!!!

 

My cruise control doesn't work at any speed ...Until April at least...

 

remember ford doesnt supply vehicles to terrorist countries. toyota and nissan do . so dont worry they wont know how to operate our fords, if they want to bomb something
