Cruise Control

[lab44]

Was going through a 30 limit today and tried to put my cruise control on and nothing happened. Thought it was busted but then when i sped up to 40 mph it worked. Does the cruise control on the C4 not work at low speeds?

The cruise control should work from 24mph+ in 4th and 5th gear only. You touch the brake or clutch it will turn off.

 

But it does work at 30mph as i use it occasionally round town.

Purely from memory, so you may be 100% right Wozza, but i thought cruise control only worked in 5th above 30mph (which would explain Lab44's problem). I remember reading it documented in the logbook.

It is 4th and 5th.

 

I dont use mine around town, the traffic dont go fast enough where i live!!!

[lab44]

yeah it works in 4th i think - your probably right wozza which is why because i was in 3rd. Ill try fourth next time should work hopefully.

 

Thanks

I was told by a Citroen technician that there was a problem with the cruise control software, it was no problem though, just a software patch, was in for a matter of hours.

i do love the CC but there was a "moment" that we had when i had it a 30mph (in 4th) and came to a speed camera and it speed up to 32mph. i quickly hit the brakes although i knew that the CC would not go past that speed! Physcological thing!! :lol:

Anyway i do use it very often and it very useful

My CC works in 4th and 5th and at 30mph. However it does sometimes over compensate for hills so if there is a speed camera near the top of a hill I tend to set it for 2mph less than the limit.

 

I have had the car go as much as 5mph of the CC setting because of gradient changes.

 

Mine had the software update recently and seems to be OK since then. The dash would beep, the SERVICE light would come on and the message "Speed control system failure" would be shown on the radio display. Another posting reported that a CC failure was down to a faulty clutch sensor.

 

If I am in town I tend to use the limit setting rather than the cruise control.

Meant to tell you mate, since my clutch sensor was replaced, I've never *touches wood* had the problem with that since! :D

Thanks Lee

 

So far since the software update mine has been OK, but not been through a full tank of fuel yet, will probably confirm it's cured after 2 or 3 tanks and no problems.
