    You may want to rephrase your question with a little more detail.

    I'm not sure if I should answer this with yes, no, maybe, on Tuesday, sure, full moons only, northern lights, pink Cadillac, Chernobyl, or just not answer at all.

    I suspect the OP was actually intended to read “when DO YOU have to use cruise control and manual shifting”.

    My answer to that question would be on hilly terrain.

    In my manual and auto trucks I used the cruise -control about 99% of the time I was on the interstate highway. I would use cruise almost every place it was possible and safe to use it, not just at interstate highway speeds. It works as well to maintain 45 mph as 65-80 mph.
