Cruise Control: Description and Operation

Cruise Control

The cruise control system consists of the following components:

- Cruise control switch
- Cruise control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch)
- Stoplamp switch
- Cruise control indicator
- PCM
- Electronic-controlled throttle body
- Clockspring

During normal driving, the vehicle speed can vary slightly from the set speed due to road conditions. The vehicle speed may fluctuate when driving up and down a steep hill. If the vehicle speed decreases more than 16 km/h (10 mph) below set speed, the cruise control disengages.
