cruise control

Cruise control (also known as speed control, cruise command, autocruise, or tempomat) is a system that automatically controls the speed of an automobile. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the throttle of the car to maintain a steady speed as set by the driver.

    Cruise Control not disengaging

    On 3 occasions now, I've nudged the Cruise Control lever forward, the way I tend to disengage ACC, but it's taken up to 10 seconds before it's actually disengaged! By that I mean the car carries on at the speed set (70mph), without slowing down, despite going slightly up hill. Also, the...

    Cruise Control Not Working

    First motorway trip in the new car and I always use cruise control through the many 50mph zones. However nothing happened when I pressed the button on the steering wheel. Would this be related to my start-up habit of deactivating ELK & FCA? I tried turning them back on (whilst driving) but...

    Cruise Control Issue

    So I recently got a zs ev and have notices that when cruise contol is on and I am driving on a flat road that my car will start driving above the set cruise control limit. This has gotten me a speeding ticket the other day and I'm pretty ticked off at it. Has anyone else had this issue or knows...

    Adaptive Cruise Control

    Does anyone know when using ACC whether the brake lights come on when ACC brakes due to slow/stationary traffic please? I want to know if someone following me gets a warning of rapid deceleration. Thank you.

    Traffic Jam Assist

    We drove from a bit North of Sydney to West of Brisbane (circa 1000 km). We encountered two significant traffic jams on the motorway outside of Brisbane. I set the cruise control to the posted speed limit. The traffic jam assist was terrific! It made the stop and go driving much less...

    Adaptive cruise control ACC

    I've noticed if I drive on motorway at 70 mph and use the ACC and then use the brake to slow down, the battery will shut down. I recieve a fault and need to pull over. Shut the car down and restart and it works again. Is this a common fault or is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Settings To Get Just Cruise Control Functionality?

    Took my 4 onto the motorway for the first time and I’m used to just pressing CC and then holding that speed. But with the 4, it was trying to steer for me (causing a vibration effect through the wheel) as as well constantly doing minute alterations. Then the lane keep assist was beeping and...

    ACC without the A

    Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the Adaptive facility of the Cruise Control? Why would I want to do that you may ask. Well, living in rural Wales we now have a 20mph speed limit around town and speaking to a delivery driver he just uses his cruise control to keep within the speed...

    Fuel consumption on cruise control

    I just went on a long trip from Paris to London and back. On the motorways, I was setting the car on cruise control a lot, and I noticed that when it would slow down, the display which shows power would never go below 0%. However, when I turned off the cruise control and the car slowed down, the...

    Cruise Control

    When I activate cruise control the car takes control of the steering some times. Is there a solution for the problem? I have an MG4 trophy long range model. Just completed my first public charging at Bury St Edmunds at Waitrose who had about 10 chargers. John

    Cruise control unable to maintain speed

    Majority of our motorways are not flat, having slight bumps or inclines/declines. Our 2 month old ZS struggles on these, with a constant increase in power and immediately, decrease in power before repeating this process over and over. Feels your on a boat riding the waves. On the same roads, our...

    ACC and sensors knocked out

    My ZS EV has a problem where the cruise control and, I think, all the sensor based assistance stops working until the car is restarted. The odd thing is that this takes place near the same place every time and has never happened elsewhere as if there is some sort of interference there. It...

    Speed Limiter / Cruise Control access

    Hi! Picked my MG4 up yesterday and I've done a few short journeys today. I've got a question about the cruise control and speed limit features. When I switch the car off and come back to it later, the button on the steering wheel to control cruise/limiter doesn't do anything. I need to go...

    No cruise control

    Car went to dealers to fix previous fault where radio module disconnected and now I have no cruise control. I guess that's another visit to the dealer unless the collective mind are able to offer a quick fix?

    Q - how to cancel ACC without dabbing brake

    Hi, I use ACC a lot and like it. Obviously it is set to the current speed by pushing the steering wheel symbol on the steering wheel. The previous set sped can be resumed by pushing the LH toggle up when not active. When active speed + - 5 is via toggle up / down, follow distance by...

    Cruise control

    Can one turn off the Adaptive cruise control so it is just on manual operation that can increase or decrease speed levels in increments of 1 mph instead of 5 mph and not have the radar Influence which causes problems on bends on A roads.
