WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Cruise control switch inputs are received by the SCCM and sent to the PCM through the GWM to the HS-CAN1.

Pressing (ON) and releasing the ON/OFF switch turns the cruise control system on. Pressing (SET+) or (SET-) on the SET switch while the vehicle is traveling at the desired speed activates the cruise control system.

Pressing up or down on the SET switch while in the active mode increases or decreases the maintained vehicle speed by 2 kmh per press when displayed units are "kmh" and 1 mph per press when displayed units are "mph". If the respective switch is pressed and held, the vehicle speed continues to accelerate or decelerate until the switch is released.

Pressing (OFF) and releasing the ON/OFF switch, or turning the ignition switch to the OFF position, turns the cruise control system off. While the cruise control system is active, applying the brake pedal or pressing the CNCL (CANCEL) switch puts the cruise control system into standby mode. Pressing the RES (RESUME) switch when the cruise control system is in standby mode causes the vehicle to accelerate to the last speed. Resume does not function if the OFF switch is pressed, the ignition switch is cycled OFF, or if the current vehicle speed is below the minimum operational speed.
