Re: Minimum speed for cruise control
Bill,
You CAN press the off button, you do not have to mash the brake pedal. By the time the nice man sees the brake lights, it's usually too late anyhow, you may as well fess up and take the punishment. He knows, and he may as well know you know ... "L.W.

Re: Minimum speed for cruise control
Hi Jeff,
Yes, I see the button at the thumb position both side on the steering wheel. but when I pull it back into third it's by the skin of my teeth, from seeing that little dot on the horizon. I've (knocking on wood) gotten away with it every time. The two second delay the electronically operated accelerator gives us for gas mileage seams like an eternity. Try it, I think you have the same engine in your Bronco as I have in my T-Bird. The practice will come in handy if your still commuting down I-fifteen.

Re: Minimum speed for cruise control
The Bronco is gone. I replaced it with an F150 that has greater
functionality. It lacks the style, and that's sad, but it is more functional and that's more good than the bad is bad. I don't drive on the freeway anymore. I get to work locally here in the valley.
