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.
