Arrow Cruise Control

Hey all, does anyone else have a weird/ bad Factory Config of their cruise.

mine when activated, if you want to overide by pushing accel pedal, it feels flat or inhibited & accel's like a snail. But whilst foot is on accel - if you turn off cruise you get a mad rush like its been freed....

any thoughts

cheers

Mine's like that. Not sure if its supposed to be but I prefer it that way. It means I cant go over the limit by much if I happen to punch the accelerator.

Thats correct.

Part of having an electronic throttle body. When cruise is on the ECU restricts the amount the TB can move above what the selected speed. This also applies to using the accelerator whilst cruise is on. When going down a slight incline (enough to make the cruise go over the set speed unassisted, push the accelerator to the floor.
