Does 2013 Ford Focus have cruise control?
Yes. The 2013 Ford Focus can be equipped with cruise control, depending on trim and option packages.
In U.S. and many global markets, cruise control was commonly available on mid-to-high trims and could be added to base S models via optional packages. Availability varies by region, transmission choice, and the car’s specific build.
Understanding cruise control availability by trim
The breakdown below reflects typical equipment patterns for the North American market, noting that exact features can differ by production date and dealer configuration.
- SE: Cruise control is typically available and often standard on automatic-transmission models.
- SEL: Cruise control is standard equipment as part of the mid-range package.
- Titanium: Cruise control is standard, with this premium trim and automatic transmission.
- S (base): Cruise control is often not standard and may require the optional Convenience Package or may be unavailable in certain markets.
To buy or verify, check the specific vehicle's window sticker or build sheet, or ask the dealer to confirm cruise control status.
How to identify if your Focus has cruise control
If you’re unsure whether your car has cruise control, here’s how to check and use it.
- Inspect the steering wheel for a set, cancel, and resume control buttons, or a cruise control switch on the left side of the wheel. Some models place the controls on a stalk behind the steering wheel.
- Turn the ignition on and look for a “CRUISE” indicator in the instrument cluster when the feature is available, or consult the steering-wheel controls for Set/Resume buttons.
- Consult the owner’s manual or the original window sticker/build sheet for definitive confirmation and operating instructions.
If your car lacks cruise control, it may be due to trim level, market, or the absence of a specific option package. In many cases, dealers can add it via a package where available.
Regional variations and related features
In Europe and other regions, cruise control availability and terminology can differ, and some markets offered Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) as an option on higher trims. The 2013 Focus also saw variations in packaging that could include a speed limiter or ACC in certain configurations.
Summary
For most 2013 Ford Focus models sold in North America, cruise control was available on SE, SEL and Titanium trims and could be added to the base S with the right package. Always verify the exact features on a specific vehicle through the VIN, build sheet, or window sticker, since configurations vary by market and production date.
