Thank you for the information.

It has just been confirmed that automobile cruise control functions can not be used in naija; as in it wasn't designed for nigeria. We just have to use other functionalities because within every one mile or one kilometer, is a pot hole or uneven road or no road or traffic or toll gate.

Thanks again, good information.
That's not true. I for one use it everyday.

Thank you very much for this

It cancels with he slightest application of the brake pedal. That is a protective feature because the vehicle senses that there is a reason for you applying the brake and will not drive itself at that moment in order not to drive you further towards the obstacle or object that warranted you applying the brake in the first instance.

Having said that, I feel the "comfort" and "fuel saving" benefit of using it is what we may enjoy in Nigeria, especially in the north where you can see several kilometres straight ahead on the road you are plying.

Down south, maybe the "comfort" factor occasionally, but forget the "fuel saving" benefit. When I use it on the express when travelling roads downsouth, the moment i approach a hilly climb on the road, the gas pedal adjust appropriately to maintain the cruise speed and in the process the gear select changes to the lower gear. Downhill, the cruise slows down the car to still maintain the cruise speed and then accelerates again the moment you approach another hilly climb. The car changing gears at this instance increases fuel consumption and defeats the purpose of cruise control fuel economy.
