Pellerin lists as requirements for an aftermarket cruise control
a clutch cutoff  and a "tilt" cutoff. The Escort cruise control
has provision no provision for a clutch or tilt cutoff, since
its runs off engine rprm. It is sensitive to rate-of-change of
 rpm, and will cut off if you step on the clutch without taking
your foot off the gas. For the same reasom it does not need a tilt.
It does however have provision for being deactivated by the
backup light switch.
The nice feature of using engine rpm as the speed input is
that it obviates the need for magnets on the drive shaft.
