Anyone noticed.

[AliasOmega]

The 182 cruise control stops at 123mph.? wont go any more.?

Or the fact that when you want to increase 1mph, it jumps 2mph.

How weird....and annoying.

 

[msa197]

Take the car back to Renault????

 

[AliasOmega]

Naa, if you want 50mph you set the cruise control to on, but then if you want 55mph you cant select it, you get increases in 1mph, then it jumps too 2mph at a stage. You have to reset the cruise control, speed up and press the + button to set at the speed you guess your at, then + / - 1mph from that.

does this really annoy you that much?

Yes, you driving in a 50mph limit and you want 50mph on the speedo, but no, you cant have it, you can have 48,49,51,53,55 but not 50. Surely renault would of realised that the 30,40,50,60,70,80 would be more essential than a 31,41,51 etc.

 

[patty]

good point! lol

 

[dk]

i think you are being a little picky personally, i have never had this problem, and if the speed limit is 50 whats wrong with setting it at 49? 50 is the limit, not the required speed at which to travel.

If all you can think of to complain about your car is this then you must be very bored

Im glad Im not the only one whos sad enough to have noticed this. lol

Im not sure it does it all the time though as Im sure Ive had speeds set that it wouldnt normally let me select.

 

[Lagerlout]

Ditto^^ some times it does sometimes it doesnt. And hen the cruise is at 50 the speedos at about 54 !!!lol!!

 

[Dash]

Why would you want to be going round at track doing 123mph with the cruise control on?

 

[AliasOmega]

Also, did i forget to mention that i thrash it everywhere (once warm) as i live in the middle of no where and that is all B roads, so i was thinking about chopping it in for a Zafira or a Scenic, some thing that has a tow bar....and a spare wheel.



Also, the way the Air Con sneekily comes on when you select Auto on the climate control, i deselect AC for a reason, next glance down its selected it for me...how nice of it.

i think the zafira is a good idea as you probably wont have the same problem with the cruise control.

As for the climate putting the AC on, thats its job, you have it on auto it will put the AC on for you, its not sneaky, take it off auto and into manual mode and it wont put it back on.

get a cup then you dont have to worry about these things

Ok i give in or maybe im missing the point so please explain...

What has thrashing it everywhere (Once warm) got to do with wanting an Mpv with a tow bar and spare wheel ?

i think it was supposed to be sarcasm for my benefit. As everyone knows I dont drive my 182 fast.

 

[RS-Steve]

the 123mph is more to do weith 200KPH iirc. its seen as theobvious peak for the cruise control.

 

[Chili Red]

Ive noticed the cruise control jumps up 2mph - I thought that was me doing something wrong..oh well.

 

[Funkyjahooner]

Cheers for that Dave,his/her sarcasm was wasted on me then !

My cruise control does the 2mph thing as well but not all the time.I just turn it off at the switch then back on again if it bugs me.That usually does the trick.

 

[dk]

you lot are lucky, you try using the cruise control at 5pm on a friday and 8 am on a monday morning on the M40.

the rest of the time i am having too much fun to worry about the car driving for me!

 

[Leeshez]

Mine does it sometimes either 1mph or 2mph does not realy bother me because i hardly use it.

agreed all this fancy electric stuff is pointless....just more to go wrong, if not a cup maybe a valver or summit.
