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.
