Understand and Maximize The Ford Eco Cruise Feature in Corpus Christi, TX

Apart from the standard cruise control that comes embedded in our vehicles, Ford has integrated a standout feature designed to make your driving experience more efficient. This feature labeled 'Eco Cruise' is systematically designed to save your vehicle's energy and enhance your vehicle's performance. While Eco Cruise operates considerably like the conventional cruise control, keeping your speed constant on flat terrains, its overall functionality is woven around energy conservation and efficiency, in Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, Aransas Pass, Rockport, Kingsville, Sinton, Port Aransas, Ingleside, and Alice, TX.

Key Features of Eco Cruise

Eco Cruise is engineered to handle your vehicle's acceleration in a proficient manner. When you apply the brakes then decide to resume your previously set speed, the Eco Cruise feature gently accelerates your vehicle back to its preset speed, thereby conserving energy. Understandably, a minor speed reduction might be experienced while initially climbing uphill but after a short while, Eco Cruise ensures your set speed is reached.

Additionally, vehicles that come with the adaptive cruise control feature have the benefit of an automatic, gradual acceleration once any hindrance in traffic is cleared. It is of note that while this acceleration might appear sluggish, it's in fact the system optimising smooth and efficient acceleration within the Eco Cruise functionality.

How To Use The Eco Cruise Feature

When Eco Cruise is turned on but not active, both the Eco and car icon displayed in your vehicle's information panel will appear grey. Once activated, the Eco and car icons will illuminate in green. To activate Eco Cruise, simply accelerate to your desired speed and press the 'Set' button located on the left-hand side of your steering wheel. Your vehicle will then maintain a constant speed until you apply the brakes.

If for any reason you brake and then wish to return to your previously set speed, press the 'Resume' button also located on the left-hand side of your steering wheel. If you wish to familiarize yourself further with the feature, navigate 'Information' with the five-way control on your steering wheel, proceed to 'Main Menu', 'Tutorial', and then select 'EC Cruise'. A brief description will subsequently appear.
