SPEED CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

With speed control set, you can maintain a set speed without keeping

your foot on the accelerator pedal.

WARNING: Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on

roads that are winding, slippery or unpaved.

Using speed control

The speed controls are located on the steering wheel. The following

buttons work with speed control:

CAN (cancel)/RES (resume): Pull

toward you to cancel or resume a

set speed.

SET+: Press to set a speed or

increase a set speed.

ON/OFF: Press to turn speed

control on or off.

SET–: Press to decrease a set

speed.

5. The indicator light on the instrument cluster will turn on.

Note:

• Vehicle speed may vary momentarily when driving up and down a

steep hill.

• If the vehicle speed increases above the set speed on a downhill, you

may want to apply the brakes to reduce the speed.

• If the vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph (16 km/h) below

your set speed on an uphill, your speed control will disengage.

Disengaging speed control

Pull CAN toward you and release, tap the brake pedal or press the clutch

pedal (if equipped). Disengaging the speed control will not erase

previous set speed.

Note: When you use the clutch pedal to disengage the speed control,

the engine speed may briefly increase; this is normal.

Pull RES toward you and release. This will automatically return the

vehicle to the previously set speed.

release SET+ to increase the vehicle set speed in approximately

1 mph (2 km/h) increments.

release SET+.

RE:

Attention 2012 Ford Focus owners! How do you set the cruise control?

Just took delivery of a 2012 Focus SE from the Rental Company. There is no owners manual in it.

Need detailed instructions on how to find the button, knob or stalk area.

Then tell me how to set it please.

Thanks.

If your rental has cruise control the controls for it will be on the steering wheel. However, cruise control is an optional extra for the 2012 Focus SE, and your particular car may not have it.
