Dodge Dakota Cruise Control Components

Your Dodge Dakota is outfitted with cruise control which enables it to control its driving speeds with great precision. Cruise control is designed around the electro-mechanical servomechanism which maintains steady speeds according to the driver’s presets. First, you need to bring the vehicle up to highway speeds, and then, a specifically-designated button can be engaged in order to set the current speed. Cruise control is designed to read the speed signals from the driveshaft, engine RPMs, or the wheel speed sensors while performing its functions of controlling the engine throttle.

All cruise controls are engineered to be disengaged by either pressing the brakes or by pressing the designated button. Modern-day systems offer adaptive cruise control which can lower the vehicle speed if an auto in front of it appears on the road. Some of the cruise control systems also feature speed-limiting functions while not allowing to accelerate beyond certain pre-determined speeds. Most of the time, cruise control can only be engaged at highway speeds when the vehicle is running in its top gear. If you feel that your pickup truck’s cruise control is getting out of the proper working order, then take your vehicle to a reputable mechanic and visit our store to acquire all of the needed Dodge Dakota cruise control components!
