How to Use the Cruise Control on the Ford Kuga?
2 Answers
The method to use cruise control on the Ford Kuga: First, ensure the vehicle speed is above 40 km/h, then press the ON/OFF button to activate this function. Additionally, press the button above the three buttons to officially enable the cruise control feature. Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, keeping the car at the set speed without the need to operate the throttle, thereby reducing fatigue. The dimensions of the Ford Kuga are 4524mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690mm. The vehicle's engine has a maximum power output of 134 kW and a maximum torque of 243 Nm.
When I drive my Kuga on the road, the cruise control really makes long-distance driving much easier. The basic operation is: after the speed reaches above 40km/h, first press the ON button on the steering wheel to activate the system, then press the SET button at the speed you want to maintain. After that, use the +/- buttons to adjust the speed, and to temporarily cancel it, gently press the brake or press the CANCEL button. Press RESUME at any time to restore the previous speed. Remember not to use it in congested urban areas or during rainy/snowy weather, as it can easily lead to accidents; it’s safest to use it only on open highways. Personally, I’ve found that using cruise control can save some fuel because the stable speed reduces engine load, but it’s best not to rely on it for too long. Check the road conditions periodically and switch back to manual control—developing this habit will make driving safer.
