Cruise control
« on: 15 April 2012, 00:38 »
Hi,

Any sugestions as to why the cruise control is not working? I switch it on, the light comes on in the clocks, press and hold set on the steering wheel and lift my foot of the pedal....... the car slows down!

This how I was told to set it, away at the moment but the handbook won on fleabay has turned up at home, just wondering if this was correct or is thgere a problem?

Cheers. :smiley:

On mine all you do is click the switch on the wiper stalk then press the plus sign on the steering wheel and mines on.

I don't think you have to hold the button down, just press and release? Could be wrong mind..

Thanks,

When trying to use it I have puhed the set button, held the set button for a few seconds and it just loses speed so I think it is faulty! Where abouts are these switches located? On the peddles themselves?

Thanks for any help. :wink:
