Title: Cruise control
Post by: mantahatch on 27 November 2008, 08:06:18

Not sure if this is a problem or not, and even if it is a problem I quite like it.

When I set the cruise to say 40mph and take my foot of the pedal it holds the speed normally, however if I accelerate up to say 60mph to overtake something and lift off the throttle the car begins to slow down as it would, but when it reaches 40mph again the cruise control takes over again by itself, is this normal ? If I touch the brakes or turn it off on the button it switches off normally.

Just wondered if it is normal operation or not.

Thanks

Mike

yep normal. I find it good for scaring myself coming off motorways. Dont forget to cancel a lower speed. ::)

You've not knocked cruise off by accelerating, so all it's doing is carrying on as before.
Have you tried pressing resume? That'll take you back up to what speed you were set at before knocking it off.
