If yours is actually Functioning at 20~25,,,that's Great.
But there's a POSSIBILITY you are NOT actually running
on CC even though you pushed the Button to activate it.
are lpg powered police cars safe?
Your car may simply IDLING that fast,,,and appear to be in CC mode.
Try "testing it " yourself on a SAFE place...
***Set Cruise at 20~25,,get settled in at that speed,,
and then Manually Switch it OFF,,,
and see if car continues at that speed or Slows Down.
***Then with Cruise OFF,,,try driving along at that speed and let your foot completely off the gas pedal,,,
See what speed the car runs at "all by ITSELF".
With NO Cruise Control,,and NO foot on the gas
is it illegal to pass a car on the right while on the freeway?
***You can also try while driving in either mode(with CC On and OFF) at that speed 20~25...
Press in Clutch or shift an Automatic Trans into Neutral.
Listen to hear if Engine Speeds Up when You do that.
If it Does,,that's an Indication of HI Idle Speed.

You should get the Idle Speed Adjustment Checked by a repair shop.

In any case,,,no amount of using the CC can hurt the vehicle in any way.
It would be easy to argue that running on Cruise Is BETTER for the car than many people's driving habits.
But,,if You car actually IS running that speed by itself,,,that can cause undue wear on brakes and things by requiring more force to stop the car which is actually Under Power.
On Automatic Transmission Cars,,,Hi Idle speeds can cause a sort of "QUIRK" under certain Driving Conditions.
If Engine is actually running a little too fast,,,
And You begin to do a gentle gradual Stop...

You're "Stopping" 2 Things----the Car's Forward Motion,,,
AND dragging Down the Engine Speed which is "set" to go faster.
How can I find out about traffic accidents in jefferson county MO?
Light Braking will slow the car gradually,,,but it's actually LOADING the engine.
When the car slows down slow enough,,The Auto Transmission Downshifts itself.
That creates a sudden surge of Power which can overcome the amount of Braking Force being applied by the Driver.
The Care responds by --engine being suddely UNLOADED and revving back UP to the speed it Wants to Run at.
And car will lurch forward a bit.
what is the legal time limit for a car left on the freeway in california?
The effect is the same as Downshifting and stepping on the gas.
Child/Parent car parking spaces.?
It is only an Instaneous thing,,and Driver Instinct is to step harder
on brakes.
So it's Seldom a Problem.
should cars make left turn when its not there turn?
But in scenarios like bumper-to-bumper traffic,,or approaching a Stopped vehicle ahead,,etc.....
That little "lurch forward" can be a Bad Thing.
It's RARE when all the "stars line up just right" to cause a prob..
But Hi Idle Auto-Downshift during braked-decelleration is known to have caused a few accidents.
Can't the d@mn calls and snacks wait?
Remember,,that WEIRD event only applies to AUTOMATIC Transmissions.

May seem like a small point,,but it's IMPORTANT to know whether your Car is Travelling at 20~25 actually ON CRUISE CONTROL,,,,or on it's on free will from engine idle setting being too hi.
Your car "Sounds Suspicious" because it's Unusual for Cruise to work at such low speeds.

In a way, the cruise control helps your car by keeping it a a constant speed, thus saving fuel and minimizing unnecessary wear. However, every cruise control I've ever seen will not function under 30 mph. If yours does (and it appears to from your description) go ahead and use it to your hearts content.Remember, short distance/slow speed driving is hard on oil. If that is how you mostly use the car, make sure you change your engine oil every 3 months or 3000-3500 miles whichever comes first, and transmission and radiator fluids every other year regardless of mileage. If you do at least 50% highway driving, you can probably stretch the transmission fluid change to 30,000 miles or 3 years whichever comes first.
Believe it or not changing the oil is the best way to keep an engine running longer...and don't fall for the synthetic oil thing unless it came that way from the factory. Look in your owners manual for the recommended oil. If you can't find it, you can't go too far wrong with a nationally branded 5w-30 in colder climates, and a 10w-30 in warmer areas.

Your lucky. Most cruse controls do not even work at anything below 35. your completely fine running the cruse. all it does is hold your speed. the worst thing that could happen is that the controller will stop working sooner then designed. but (depending on how old the car is) should be shortly after you sell the car.Centrifugal force operates on a vehicle every time the driver:?
