Hiya Guys and Gals,

Just got my hands on a Elite 3.0v6 Mreg. Basically to keep down the miles on trev.

What a car. Its so comfortable!... Now then here’s the problem. There is no instruction manual. Most buttons seem fairly explanatory but cant work out the following.

1)Left indicator stick has some buttons on it and can’t work out what they do??

2)The auto stick has a frost simple button next to it... Is that something to do with a/c or if there’s ice on the road???

Also if there are any other weird or wonderful buttons that you think I’ll miss or  aren’t  so straight forward could these be explained.

So many buttons I think I’m gona be finding new gadgets for the next few months

Thanks in advance.

Buttons on the left stalk are for cruise control the snowflake button locks the autobox up in third gear to aid traction when setting of on slippery surfaces

Hi!

Left stalk buttins are probably cruise, the 'snowflake' symbol by the shift is for starting off in 3rd (in snow or ice!).  You will get plenty of help here

Just thinking if you can get hold of an owners manuel it would be useful especially for the climate and ventilation system the operation of which is quite complex

How does the cruise control work?

How does the cruise control work?

The raised part towards the dash sets the cruise limit.  Tap it to increase speed 1 mph at a time.  To decrease speed tap the recessed part nearer to you.  The bottom part - wide with lines - knocks it off.

Hit the depressed button when you're ready and car will race back to preset speed.  Pressing the brake will also knock it off.  If you slow down and wan't to set a lower speed just press the raised button again.

Raised button = set/add speed.  Depressed button = resume/lose speed.  Bottom button = cancel.

I to set (and to increase speed by 1.2mph once set)
R to resume last set speed (and to reduce speed by 1.2mph)
0 to cancel (as does brake and clutch).

I think I have a pre-facelift manual. If so, I will scan it in and put a link on here over the next day or so.

Hi Snapz

pm me with an address as i have the manual on disk & its yours if you want it

If you're using the cruise control and want overtake someone, accelerate and then let your foot off the pedal when you want to go back to cruising speed. The cruise control will take over automatically and carry on at the speed it was previously set to.
