Cruise Control; Principle Of Operation; Using Cruise Control - Lincoln MKS 2015 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.
