The cruise control of the Ford Mustang is designed for comfortable and relaxed driving. A steering wheel button lets you set a constant speed without having to press the accelerator pedal. Especially on long highway trips, the system noticeably enhances driving comfort. In addition, the control system offers functions such as quickly resuming a previously stored speed and making adjustments at the touch of a button. The system also takes safety considerations into account, such as speed limits on downhill grades. Overall, the driving experience is made more pleasant and at the same time more controlled.

Function Description

With cruise control, you can maintain a set speed without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. Cruise control can be used at vehicle speeds above 30 km/h.

Using Cruise Control

WARNINGS

Do not use cruise control on winding roads, in heavy traffic or on slippery roads. This could result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death.

On downhill grades, the vehicle may exceed the set speed. The system does not apply the brakes but displays a warning.

Note: Cruise control deactivates when the vehicle speed drops more than 16 km/h below the set speed on inclines.

The cruise control buttons are located on the steering wheel.
