If the car is going up an incline, it will attempt to keep the speed constant with the setting of the cruise control. When that process is satisfied, the car may decelerate a bit to keep the same speed. If the car continually decelerates whe using the cruise control. stop using the cruise and have it checked. It id very dangerous to use the cruise control that is not operating properly. It could cause the car to accelerate unexpectedly.
The car would have to decelerate at a rate of 51.3 feet per second-squared.
Set it to 55 mph. Most cars are their most efficient at 55 mph.
My Buick jerked at hiway speed while in cruise when I went up a hill or the car had to work such as pulling my boat and we found I needed to replace the spark plugs and plug wires. I have had no problem since.
When you set the cruise control on your car the car then travels at a set speed of 65 mph and you can take your foot off of the accelerator.As you are traveling along at a set speed of 65 mph and you step on the brake pedal to slow down the cruise control will go off.When you return to the set speed of 65 mph the cruise control goes on.More to the pointOnce the Cruise control is set it will maintain the set speed or attempt to remain at the set speed until 1st the brake pedal is stepped on 2nd the cancel control is activated 3rdthe loss of speed exceeds a set value usually 25 or 30 mph 4th It detects an unexpected or exceptionally large increase in engine RPM 5th the clutch peddle is depressed 6tha code ore other computer fault is detected the driver must pay attention to 7th On some newer cars they have adaptive speed control and will reduce the speed of your car when you get to close to a car in front. It can also have faults, My fathers car has a faulty relay that will occasionally turn off the speed control system when it is set, this results in a speed control fault being set in the computer. Usually you just turn the system off and on and it works normally for the rest of the day.
1) turn on cruise control (a light should turn on somewhere) 2) increase or decrease speed to desired mph 3) press button or apparatus to set or reset cruise 4) take foot off gas peddel and the car should maintain steady speed. I've had 2 VW's and the cruise didn't work in either one....perhaps your cruise just doesn't work.
My Insight can easily go at 85 MPH (5 MPH higher than the highest current speed limit where I live) but at this speed it gets less than 30 MPG. The car is capable of 55 MPG if on cruise control at 55 MPH, above and below 55 MPH the MPG gradually falls (45 MPG at either 45 MPH or 75 MPH, 35 MPG in the city).
5 to 9 mph
Because you have to at least be at 25 mph or 30 km/h
If one car is able to run the 9.6 at 145 mph, it will beat another car running that 9.6 at 135 mph. The speed of the car and the control the driver maintains will determine who wins the race.
To change the cruise control display from kilometers per hour (km/h) to miles per hour (mph) on a 2014 Ford Escape, you need to adjust the settings in the vehicle's instrument cluster. Start by pressing the "Menu" button on the steering wheel, navigate to the "Settings" option, and select "Units." From there, choose "Imperial" to switch the display to mph.
Some of these systems have a load/rpm profile, so if the car is going too slow for fifth gear it wont allow cruise. If the engine simply does not run well the cruise may be trying to work but will shut off instantly if it can't maintain the speed set. If the car is going too fast the cruise will not set. So if you set cruise at 50 mph in fourth, and 90 miles an hour in fifth it wont work just like you said.
Likely, an expressway is the only place one could use cruise control. The minimum speed to use cruise control is at least 45 mph and many roads don't allow that speed. Also, the expressway gets rid of constant stops that make it annoying to use the cruise control. Basically, if you aren't stuck in traffic, cruise control is the way to go.
