My cruise control and speed limiter stopped working yesterday (Friday the 13th!) Well, the buttons for each function work, but the up/down switch that actually sets the speeds doesn't. At the same time my mpg has worsened by 5-6 mpg so I am wondering if my dCi is doing a regen and that the cruise/speed controls are rendered inoperative during the process. Anyone seen this before? The car has only done 2,600 miles and is an auto, so no foot-on-the-clutch solution this time!

Hound, I know you're probably too familiar with the system for this to be the problem but i'll put it out there anyway for "newer" owners.

I was stumped by the cruise control on my QQ when I first got it. I didn't realise the initially you have to choose a "lower" speed before going back up the dial for the switches to work e.g you're travelling at 60mph but want to set the cruise at 70. First you have to select under 60mph (59mph) before then going up to 70mph. Well, that's how it works on my QQ anyway!

Beardy, mine would just set at whatever the current speed was, with a downward flip of the switch. You could then tweak it up and down in 1mph increments to reach your exact setting. Or accelerate to that speed and reset. But now the acc/reset/set switch is doing nothing and the cruise control symbol doesn't turn green. Strange.

Does this help you to understand the settings. Mine has functioned just as Hound mentioned and as yet touch wood no Hiccups - Dave 8-)

I just pulled a fault code from the car's computer (P0096 - an air temperature sensor) and interestingly a fellow member has had exactly the same fault on his QQ, which is the same age and spec as mine, down to the colour. If there was a faulty batch of sensors then it may be useful for QQ owners to be aware of the potential problem. More info here; viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3408

My car had the same problem. The service centre replaced a temperature sensor which fixed the problem.
This happened 6 months ago and I have had no further problems.

On mine, you push the cruise control button and when you’re at the speed you want, push the set button. If you want to set a higher speed than you’re currently going, you do the above and push the + to increase the speed – but you do have to do it fairly slowly otherwise the system will reject the increase (I assume to prevent the CC system accelerating too hard). If you set more than about 3mph over the current speed it will jump back to the current speed.

I've never had to set it to a lower speed.
