Cruise control

Halfprice

Hi all. Recently got the squid fixed on my Hyundai santa fe 2007 as air bag light was showing up but before that the crusie control never worked. Wouldn't even turn on. Now it will turn on, green cruise light appears but it wont engage.

Any ideas what could be up or anything simple to maybe check?

The cruise control would probably share the same clockspring as the airbag.

Do you know how to engage the cruise control? Think you just tap the 'set' button on those.

Is your one a manual, are there any other faults

What kind of speed are you doing when you try to engage it, on most cars it won't engage below about 50km/h or could be lower depending on model, on Volvos it's 30km/h.

I know how it works alright. When i press it on, the green cruise light appears but when i press set there's nothing happening. Been doing 120km on motorway and it wont engage.

The cruise control disengages when you press the clutch or brake pedals. There is a switch on each of these that disengages the cruise control. If either switch is not working right the CC will not engage.

I have occasionally had problems with clutch switch on my Kia.

Also I would check all fuses.

The clutch switch was gone on my alfa also. Was throwing an error for brake switch to add a bit of confusion.

Thinks thats how u spell it anyway. Its on the steering wheel. Couple hundred to get a new one fitted. More than likely one of the switches on the brake r clutch is fecked so. Thanks for all d replies

Squab - the bit of the seat you sit on. Probably had a faulty OCS sensor if the airbag light was on.

I understood it to be airbag squib / clockspring rather than the seat, but maybe i took it up wrong.

Squib would be more likely to be written mistakenly as squid alright! I just thought of the seat squab as the OCS sensor is such a common cause of the airbag warning light.

I have a cert in Computer Science and I find the Hyundai crusie control difficult as I'm in one so rarely. It might be worth doing some RTFM just incase as it's not the most intuative thing.

Is it not just on/off up/down and cancel?

I dunno what the hell I do to it if it is. I seem to have to spend ten minutes setting the bloody thing.

It seems to be a 'not exceed' and a 'hold this' speed yoke.

Maybe it is but the one on the older Santa Fe (06-whenever) is straightforward enough

It's not beyond the realms of possibility I'm being incredibly thick.

This is an i10
