Cruise control not working

Not sure if it aint wokring or if i perhaps jus aint doing it right (neva had it b4)

How exactly do i use it...& check if faulty?

Push the end of the cruise control stick in. "Cruise" appears below the odometer to say it's on. Then click the cruise control lever down at your desired speed and it will set itslef to your current speed. You can increase/decrease speed by clicking the lever up and down. Accelerate, it'll come back to the cruise speed when you let off the throttle. Brake and it'll deactivate itself. Once deavtivated, click the lever up once and it'll return itself to the cruise speed very gently, so good for high(er) mpg.

Check for a blown brake light bulb as this will deactivate the cruise control so the cruise light doesn't come on when you press the button.

aha!! wondered how it worked

Cheers

I've heard that J-spec cruise can't be set over about 70mph btw. Not that any of you would want to go that fast, naturally, but thought I'd let you know

yeah if your doing 80mph and try to set it, it will slow the car down to 70 then set.

One thing I have always wounderd about was, With cruise controle, if its set to 50 it will try stay there if going up or down a hill, When going down hill you can feel the car slowing itself down but I wounderd if the brake lights come on?

I don;t think cruise control is using brakes at all man. It just operate with releasing and pressing down acceleration pedal.

yeh mines tops out at 72mph which is just enough for motorways lol

Checked brake lights...working fine.

Also my horn doesn't work at all....do you think the horn and cruise control not working could be linked in anyway?

I think Konrad's right....

I was in a 40 limit with cruise on recently, going down a steep hill and the speed slowly increased. I had to brake to stop myself from going through a camera at 50.

My cruise control doesn’t work until I’m doing over 50 mph ish.
