Using Adaptive Cruise Control - Ford 2013 FUSION HYBRID Owner's Manual

ECO Cruise Control
This feature saves vehicle energy by
relaxing acceleration compared to
standard cruise control. For example, your
vehicle may temporarily lose speed when
going uphill. ECO will appear in the
information display when ECO cruise
control is activated. It can be switched on
or off in the information display. See
