cruise control buttons not illuminated?
 

I was driving home late in the night riding on my cruise control and since I own my 2002 GV not that long I am not completely used to the placement of the cruise control buttons yet and in the dark hey are hard to see.
I noticed that the buttons are not illuminated (is that the word? :o ) Should they be?

Just a thought...when you can't see the cruise indicators, try moving the dimmer control from top to bottom. My PND3L indicator goes out when driving lights are on unless I move the dimmer from its usual position.

- no - they are not lit

- cruise only comes on at 30 mph
- the top accelerate / resume button speeds cruise up at any speed above 30 mph
- the bottom coast button slows cruise down

- the coast button disengages [while pressed] and re-engages [when you take your finger off] cruise
- tapping the coast button will decrease your speed by 1 mph for each tap
- tapping the coast button three times will decrease speed by 3 mph" !

- tapping the acccel / resume button once will result in a 2 mph speed increase
- tapping the acccel / resume button three times will increase speed by 6 mph

- the brake will also disengage cruise, pressing the acccel / resume button will re-engage cruise at the original setting
- If you want a different cruise speed press the set button again

I use cruise 99% of all out of town centres all of the time, it seems to average about 500+ RPM [-] for any speed setting. I believe that no human can out-think a puter, we just cant make 100 throttle calculations per second. The only issue I have is that heavy traffic and fluctuating speeds and icy conditions make it a very dangerous and unforgiving device.

Ok so I have to learn to use them in the dark :)

- 1st potty training
- then you learned to ride a bike, play a school recorder and swim, and run or fight with bullies
- eventually you grew tall and managed two and a half ton of metal with a wheel on each corner
- a top'n and a bottom'n - there's only 2 ................... you'll manage Vmaxxer :D me mate !

Try to only drive in the daytime for the first couple of months. ;)

Thank you all for the good advice! I know I will learn in the end. I managed to learn how to use Windows 95 so this should not proof impossible :cool:

Wait until you graduate to Windows 8. You've got a treat in store :mad:

I'm still on Windows XP. Never been any trouble -- no dreaded box appearing in the middle of the screen accusing me of performing an "illegal operation". Did they think I was perfoming an abortion? More the case that Windows 98 WAS an abortion...
