Mercury Grand Marquis Speed Control (Cruise) ON Button & 30 mph Minimum Speed

This is page 68 of a vehicle owner's manual covering the speed control (cruise control) system, applicable to vehicles equipped with the option. It explains how to turn the speed control on: the driver presses the ON button, shown in an accompanying illustration of the steering-wheel-mounted control pad with ON and OFF buttons (a dashed arrow points to the ON button). The page notes an important operating limitation: vehicle speed cannot be controlled by the system until the vehicle is traveling at or above 48 km/h (30 mph). A boxed warning at the bottom of the page, marked with a caution triangle, advises the driver not to use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, slippery, or unpaved. The page was uploaded to a gallery for a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis, though the page itself does not state a year, make, or model. A reader learns the activation procedure, the minimum engagement speed for cruise control, the physical location/appearance of the ON/OFF buttons, and the safety conditions under which cruise control should not be used.
