WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The function of speed control allows you to drive at a constant speed without pressing the accelerator pedal. The function is managed by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), which receives commands from the speed control buttons on the steering wheel. The function is activated by pressing the speed control switch which then stores a speed. Increase the speed with the (SET +) button or decrease the speed with (SET -) button. The speed remains stored and can be restored at any moment by pressing the RES (resume) button. The function is deactivated by pressing the DELETE key.

The function also automatically switches off:

Pressing the brake pedal
Pressing the clutch pedal
Switching off the engine

In these cases, the speed reached remains stored and will be set again to that speed by pressing the RES. A activated system is indicated by a light on the instrument panel, connected via the CAN network to the engine management.
