Cruise on manual cars
« on: 02 October 2019, 10:59:31 »
Had plenty of cruise/auto.

Have a gutless Corsa on hire and was surprised to see cruise on it.

Discovered that you can change gear and it doesn't disconnect cruise. Never too late to learn stuff.

A switch on the clutch pedal should have stopped the CC from revving the nuts off the engine when you disengaged the clutch :-\

or ... are you saying that CC was inhibited when you changed gear but re-engaged after the gear change :-\

Good question.

I think the latter. Inhibited until re engaged. I only have 2 more hours with it but will experiment.

I just expected clutch or brake use to disconnect cc.

Me too

I seem to be driving lots of different (but mostly Japanese) hire cars recently. Most don't have cruise and the ones that do don't have instructions *sigh*

That's correct, if you keep the clutch pressed longer though it will disengage the cruise until its re-enabled via the main controls

Tried different things like down a gear up a gear and it kept working. Revs just drop to tickover.

Didn't try depressing the clutch for a long tme. Not something I would do on the move.
