I didn't know cruise control did this!

I'm not sure if everyone knows, or has tried this: The cruise control, at least the one on my 1.4 manual transmission LTZ hatch, will engage in every gear but first gear, at 24 mph. I always expected that it would engage in 5th, or 6th gear; but all gears except first gear I didn't expect.

I never tried first, but the 24 MPH engagement point (regardless of gear) has been the norm for a while. Even my 96 K1500 is 24 MPH minimum speed.

I use CC all the time.

Cool

That is also the minimum speed for the advanced safety package to function (forward collision and lane departure detection).

my cruise control wont engage at 24mph, no lower than 25... i used half a mile of road trying to figure out what the cut off was lol

I can set the cruise at 4mph in my freightliner

 

[winnie]

yup the minimum is 25 i scanned thru the manual a few times.

Interesting.
I tried the CC the first day to confirm it works. I have not tried it since.

I use cruise control once a year, when I travel from Dallas to Chicago. Otherwise, my right knee gets some torsional pains.

I've never used the cruise for anything lower than highway speeds ha, doesn't hurt to know more information though.
