Cruise control problems

[Kamatari]

interesting! as like i said my cruise control switch use to be press button in and it says half pressed, main lights up, press it again and main turns off, then one day i came back and pressed it and it and main lit up, but as soon as i took my finger off the button it pops back out and main turns off :S

I think it is a latching switch, it should be like this:

Press the little button, it should click and then MAIN should turn on and stay on

The button on the end of the stalk is to set the speed, if you hold this down it will accelerate but not advisable

I think you push the stalk down to coast and then up to resume (if you touch the brake pedal at all it disegages but keeps the set speed, when you press resume it carrys on until that speed it met again)

Word of warning - DO NOT dip the clutch if its on cruise control, the speed will drop and so the unit will increase the throttle until it gets up to speed, if the clutch it dipped then no power goes to the wheels and the unit pulls the throttle more, I did that once, it revved past 7k...lol

Perhaps there are different types.  I went out to the garage and tried mine before I wrote my post above.

The button on the end of the stalk is to set the speed, if you hold this down it will accelerate but not advisable

It is supposed to do that.  From the drivers handbook:

To increase cruising speed
1. Push the SET button and hold it. Vehicle speed will increase at a set rate.
2. Release the button when the desired speed is reached.

Word of warning - DO NOT dip the clutch if its on cruise control

Then it\'s faulty!

To cancel cruising speed
- ...
- Slightly depress the brake pedal or clutch pedal
