Why is the cruise control not working?
2 Answers
In reality, the reasons why cruise control cannot be activated are as follows: 1. Cruise control cannot be turned on, which is usually because the vehicle speed does not meet the required conditions for activation. The speed must reach 40 km/h to use cruise control. 2. Malfunction during driving. If during driving, pressing the brake or clutch fails to stop the cruise control function, it may indicate a cruise control malfunction. Visit a repair shop for inspection as soon as possible. Here is the correct method to activate cruise control: 1. Press the control switch to activate cruise control standby mode. After accelerating to the desired speed, push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed. To accelerate, push the control lever upward or press the accelerator pedal. 2. To cancel cruise control, lift the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, press the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake.
I love using cruise control on long highway drives, but last time it suddenly malfunctioned and really freaked me out. Turned out it was a faulty brake light switch - this little thing near the brake pedal. When it fails, the cruise system thinks you're constantly pressing the brake, so naturally it won't engage. Another time I had issues with poor contact in the steering wheel cruise buttons - had to press really hard several times to get a response. Also remember the cruise only activates above 40 km/h, and check if your tire sensors are sending proper signals - even mud buildup can affect them. Try testing other buttons like volume controls first to rule out steering wheel button assembly issues. If all else fails, just visit the dealership to read the fault codes - don't mess with the circuits yourself.
