Ford EcoSport: adding cruise control
The EcoSport is a compact crossover that suits buyers wanting a raised seat in a small footprint. A good number left the dealer without cruise, and it is missed the moment the owner takes it beyond town.
Higher seat, longer trips
It appeals to anyone after an easy step in and out and a clear view over traffic. Those same drivers still make motorway visits to family and long runs to the seaside, and a set speed makes those easier. The car is comfortable enough for the distance; the missing feature is the weak point.
Fiesta relations are not a shortcut
The EcoSport shares much of its hardware with the Fiesta family, but a shared parts bin does not guarantee the same configuration. An installer who assumes a Fiesta setup will do is gambling with the customer's car. It is quicker to check than to undo.
What Intellitec supplies
Intellitec supplies a CAN KONTROL CRUISE module set up for the EcoSport at our Lancashire plant. It reads the crossover's CAN bus to learn its road speed, and the driver gets set, resume and cancel along with the hold. If your EcoSport remains under warranty, it might be a fit for an inductive, cut-free link, which the engineer can explain.

Questions about the Ford EcoSport
- Is an automatic EcoSport covered?
- Mention an automatic gearbox if you have one. The gearbox affects the configuration, so the engineer checks it.
- Can I use the buttons already on the steering wheel?
- It hinges on what your EcoSport has fitted. We talk you through those options before programming.
- I bought the car used. Do you need the original spec sheet?
- Registration, engine and gearbox normally give us enough to begin. If the engineer needs anything more, they will ask.
