never had a car with cruise control before,can someone tell me how to use it?:confused1:

Yup!

 

Switch it on via the switch on the r/h instrument pod. Then when you reach your desired speed (using accelerator as normal) press the "set coast" button on the steering wheel.

 

To switch off, either use the on/off switch on the instrument pod; or just press the brake.

 

If you press the brake, you can resume the previous set speed by pressing "resume" on the steering wheel.

 

HTH

Theres more to it than that...

 

While cruising, press and hold RESUME/ACCEL and the car will speed up for as long as you keep holding the button, and then maintain the new speed when the button is released.

 

Similarly, press and hold the SET/COAST button and the car will coast (no power) and so will loose speed. When the button is released, the car maintains the new speed.

 

Also useful to note, if you're cruising at 70, and accelerate to 80 to overtake, when you stop accelerating, the car will coast back down to 70, where it will then cruise again. Useful for country A roads where you want a steady 60, but need to accelerate to 80 say to get past a slower vehicle. However, if you drop down a gear it cancels cruise control, so you have to overtake in 5th :D

 

Also, i find pressing the clutch is a good way of disengaging the cruise control without actually braking.
