Cruise Control; Principle Of Operation; Using Cruise Control - Lincoln 2014 MKZ Owner's Manual

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
control when your vehicle speed is greater
than 20 mph (30 km/h).

USING CRUISE CONTROL

WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control in heavy
traffic, on winding roads or when the
road surface is slippery. This could result
in loss of vehicle control, serious injury or
death.
When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed may increase above
the set speed. The system will not apply
the brakes. Change down a gear to assist
the system in maintaining the set speed.
Failure to do so could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.
Note: Cruise control will disengage if the
vehicle speed decreases more than 10
mph (16 km/h) below your set speed while
driving uphill.
