do you press the brake at all?... some cruise control turns itself off when the brake is touched or the accelerator.
not a fan of cruise control myself, i like to be controlling the car!

Cruise should deactivate when the clutch or brake pedal is pressed

You might have a fault on either of those

Pressing the accelerator doesnt disable it. It should resume / return to the set speed once released

If brake / clutch pedal is pressed then you need to press the resume button  :nerd:

faulty brake or clutch switch possibly.
