Cruise Control Light

[pr0ton]

I took my previous Leon FR (1M) to the dealer and they installed a cruise control for me (manufacturers own, not an accessory one) it didn't had any indicator that would have shown the state of the cruise (on/off). Not sure if any 1M Leons had that.

The new FR TDI i just got a week ago, i have bi-xenons, bluetooth and USB installed and there's also the indicator light for the cruise on the speedo.

Just had a month old Stylance for a week as a courtesy car. No MFD and no indication when cruise control was on apart from the car not slowing down when you take your foot off the pedal.

In my Golf the light came on as soon as you switched the cruise control on. In my Cupra, however, you have to flick the switch and then set a speed using the doodle on the end of the stick before the light comes on.

Hope that helps.

My MK1 didn't have one, preferred it as it was always on. I know mk4 Golf's have them.

Glad to see that I am not the only one without the cruise control light. Can see the indicator on the dashboard but it will not light up when cruise is engaged. Oh well, suppose it can be lived with!

no bluetooth = no light , end of story

It sounds to me as if the BT module (under the drivers seat) must add additional 'silicon' to the vehicle that the standard ECU doesn't have. Therefore it isn't a case of cost cutting on a few LEDs but on the additional microchips - similar to the old Math Co-Processors of yesteryear.

Those of you without the BT module - does the light illuminate when you switch the ignition on (with all the other warning lights)?

Nope, doesn't on mine.
