I'm sorry broski, but this **** is HI-Larious. See the button that says "Set" on the right side, that's where it sets. The screen even tells you CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. Lol

Minus is to set speed, plus is to add mph (one push +1mph, same goes for minus except you subtract mph), plus also resumes after you've stepped on the brake...you can also cancel cruise by pulling hand brake but don't leave it set while driving...

Wtf's your problem? I did say "plus also resumes after you've stepped on the brake" which infers that stepping on the brake cancels cruise...lighten up...just trying to be helpful here...

You told a guy who doesn't know how to use his cruise control to use his e-brake to turn it off...not seeing anything wrong with that?

Not really...please reread my post again..."Minus is to set speed, plus is to add mph (one push +1mph, same goes for minus except you subtract mph), plus also resumes after you've stepped on the brake...you can also cancel cruise by pulling hand brake but don't leave it set while driving..."

Note the part in which I mentioned not to leave it set while driving...it's an old technique that many drivers use to tap out the cruise control without having to set off the brake lights or lifting your foot off the gas...you lift the ebrake just enough to trip the sensor...not to lock up your rear brakes...I think everyone else here gets what I'm talking about so I'm leaving it at that...have a nice day...
