Minimum speed for cruise control
Hello All,
I live in Holland and have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L Limited. Half of Holland has a speed limit of 50 km/h (about 30 mph). My cruise control only starts working at 35mph, whisch means i cannot use the CC as often as i want. Does anyone know how to change the minimum speed a which the CC works into 25 mph? Thanks, Jos |

It needs to be at a speed fast enough to get engine and tranny RPM into a range it can work with. YOu could fool it to work by installing lower axle ratio which would increase RPM at same road speed but this is a expensive fix. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Re: Minimum speed for cruise control
Why do you have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L Limited in Holland?
Manufacturers have determined that cruise control is unsafe under 35 mph. Your casualty and liability insurance company would have a fit if you made this modification, got into an accident, and put in a damages claim. They might even refuse to cover you, think about that.

Have you asked a Jeep dealer if that can be set with the programmer? In the U.S. 35mph is considered the lowest point at which cruise control can be safely used. -- DougW |

Re: Minimum speed for cruise control
What difference does it make why he has it?
I suspect that the reason it's considered unsafe to use cruise at those speeds is because here pretty much anywhere you are going that slow either it's a congested area or the driving conditions are so bad you shouldn't be using it. The situation may be quite different in the Netherlands.

In my experience, most cruise controls will engage at 35+ mph. You can then decellerate as low as you wish by pressing the decel or coast button several times until it cruises more slowly. I'd like to remove the limits on my Wrangler as well, leaving only an RPM limit. This would make it easier to concentrate on the terrain when moving slowly, rather than concentrating on RPM or speed. |

Is 35mph just ajeep thing? I don't know where they're getting it, either. I've NEVER driven a car that required more than 25 mph to set the cruise except Jeep Grand Cherokees. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org |

I myself have also driven other cars which can be set at lower speeds than 35. So i'm not worried about my insurance. I don't like to change the axle ratio(suggested by snoman) as this will be bad for fuel economy. Other option already suggested by the local garage is changing in the computer the size of the tires. Dis-advantage of this is that the speedometer will be incorrect. So i'm still hoping for a smart technician who can explain which board to change, or even that i have to solder a different type of resitor on a board. Regards, Jos |

Most other vehicles I've owned had a threshold of 25 mph. All would let you cut the speed back below the threshold once CC is enabled. |
