Cruse control speed increments

[ccosmin]

Hi guys,

 

Anyone knows if there is any coding to change the 1 mph increment on cruse control to 5, or 10 or something in between?

Searched and searched and nothing out there....

 

Thanks.

Not sure why you're getting 1 mph increments as I have always had 5+?!

[ccosmin]

Nop.. 1... I read that some have 5.. but not me. Should be some configuration, but where...

It's frustrating clicking 10 times to increase the speed a bit .

You could always use the accelerator and press the speed reset. The Volvo I sometimes drive does 5mph increments and it's so flippin annoying!

Still, anyone knows if this can be configured?

[xman]

I think if you press and hold the button it goes in increments of 5mph/10kph or ramps up/down

[ccosmin]

It goes up but slowly. I just need to do 2 clicks and 10mpg up. much more easier... without using the pedal.

Is it normal cruise control or adaptive cruise control? On my current Octavia it has adaptive cruise control and there are both. Can't remember what was on my previous Octavia with standard cruise though.

I have normal cruise control and its in increments of 1. I would also like to know it this can be configured with odb maybe?

Yes it’s normal without the automatic

Both my Manual MY17 and DSG MY19 Octavia's only change in 5's?

 

That said, just read else where "If you use RES/SET buttons this will do 1mph and +/- will do 5mph increments".

Has it got the CC stalk?

 

On my ACC car with the stalk, up/down changes in 5mph. When ACC is active, press the Set decreases by 1mph, pull Resume increases by 1mph.

 

IMHO, without ACC, a smaller increment would be more useful. But agree 1mph increment is too restrictive, something like 2 or 3mph change is better. I feel 5mph changes is only useful in ACC where crashing into the car in front isn't a problem.

I have RES/SET buttons, but no +/- buttons

It should be pull towards you for +1 and push up/down for +5/-5

[Kenai]

Normal, non adaptive cruise control (which is what I think you mean by not automatic, rather than the gearbox) will not have the additional controls people are talking about and pulling towards you will just flash your high beams 

 

As standard it will only adjust by 1mph increments on the rocker switch on the end of the stalk, no idea if this is possible to change with VCDS or the like.

Personally I like the 1 mph increments, especially on average speed roads.

it has to bepossible, but who knows how?   

I think I would set mine to 3 or 4.

Me too!

MY65 VRS with Adaptive cruise control I can adjust in 1's and 5's.

 

if I Pull the stalk towards me it goes up 1 if I nudge the stalk up it goes up to the nearest 5/or by 5.

Which stack? For cruise control?

yes the one for the cruise control, just under the indicator stalk

That's the difference - with ACC you have the choice of +/-1 or +/-5 depending on how you move the stalk; but with normal CC (non-ACC) the only increment possible is +/-1.

Agreed - sometimes adding or subtracting 1mph is really helpful depending on what other drivers nearby are doing in those zones.

I agree with this. Generally you want to make small adjustments, especially through average speed zones or bust stretches of road. For bigger changes you change by accelerating or braking and resetting. 

 

With AAC changing by 5 makes more sense because if they car in front then slows, you don’t need to adjust the car does it for you.

Yes but sometimes, most of the times, owant to increase the speed faster, then clicking 10 times.
