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. |

We had a Dodge Caravan a while back that was the same way and stated such in the Owners Man.. No cruise in the JK but we also have a Mazda MPV van that the cruise will work at 25. I use it a lot in the city where we have a boulevard with a 30 MPH limit but the lights are synched so you can travel the length of it without having to drop the cruise out. I always cursed the TJ while driving there (the Caravan too) because I couldn't use the cruise control at that speed. Must be a Chrysler thing. Les '07 JK 2 Door X |

I get that you are not actually in a parking lot, but your desired speed is one that might be found there. You want Cruise to work in as low as 2nd gear, I don't get how this could possibly be a desireable condition. |

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, the speed limit in residential areas is 25 mph, unless other wise posted. I love to set it at 25 (both my '91 Chevy truck, and the wife's '05 Liberty will do it) and lead a convoy of mostly high-school kids out to the main road in the mornings. Makes things safer in my neighborhood. |
