Cruise control

Here in the Phoenix suburbs, there are many roads where you can go a mile at a time at speed limits of 40, 45, or 50 MPH, without stop signs or traffic lights. I use cruise control when driving on them.

. . .

If it were me, I'd buy the equvalent Toyota maintenance manual and see how it works. I suspect a simular mechanism is used in the NHW20 . . . but it might be cheaper to pay the $2,000.

GOOD LUCK!

I'm just as likely to use the cruise control in the backroads of New England, as I am to use it on the highway. Since you cannot tell the speed of your car by the sound, it is very easy to be going faster than you really should or want to (and especially so on the NHW20, which is quieter than my NHW11 that I added the Toyota cruise control to it). The cruise control can be set to as low as 24MPH and usually holds speeds to +/-1MPH, and can be a great help at keeping you from meeting up with speed traps or going faster than you should when a sharp turn come up... I enjoy using it in a 30mph mountainside community, for example.

I use my cruise control at all speeds. I believe it keeps me from inadvertently driving too fast. It's all too easy to creep up to 35 in a 30 mph zone. I keep my foot near my brake pedal in case someone's pet crosses the road and think I can stop sooner using this technique.

My sentiments exactly. I may add I can't tell if I'm accelerating too slow or too fast from a dead stop.

When I'm not using cc I'll wedge my foot a bit between the pedal and the wall to keep my speed from drifting upwards.

I'm plagued by muscle cramps. Trying to hold the gas pedal to maintain the no-arrow display leads to a cramped ankle in about 30 seconds. Cruise really alleviates those cramps too, but it isn't quite as effective. Had I driven that mileage marathon a while back I'd probably be in a wheel chair now.

I that case, I prefer to buy the more expensive version (suppl. of 1500 euro) and have ALL the extras, including cc AND including my 5 year free maintenance!!
