Cruise control
When I see the speed limit sign approaching I drop my speed to a degree or two under and press the cruise control switch but it rarely registers, does anyone else have issues with theirs or am I doing something wrong?

RE: Cruise control
There have been several times when I thought I turned it on, wait a few seconds and realize that it didn't engage. Not sure if the button hadn't been depressed enough or what. Lately I have been holding the button for a bit longer and seems to work fine.

RE: Cruise control
If you are driving in a 30mph limit then if I remember correctly it will not engage below 28mph and hold the speed

RE: Cruise control

RE: Cruise control
In answer to your question I find the steering wheel buttons abit hit and miss, quite often I have found this and have also changed tracks on the cd or ipod when i actuallly wanted to adjust the volume.
imo I think it is related to the buttons on the wheel

So the green indicator icon thing in the speedo area of the console doesn't light up at all then?

RE: Cruise control
I seem to have to push and hold the button ( steering wheel) for a second or so. In addition , noticed if I am in a gear thats going to be too high then Cruise control wont engage. For me, that a 30 zone through a village well kown for policemen with cameras . Wont engage in 5th gear at that speed ( manual TD4 ) but will happily in 3rd / 4th . I set it to 28 , in 3rd gear .

RE: Cruise control
I've read quite a few reports of steering wheel button failures so you may have a problem.
Just to confirm is it the + button you are pressing to Set the speed?
