Cruise Control limits
 

Are there upper and lower limits on the speeds the cruise control will hold? What's the highest cruise speed you've successfully set? Just curious.

-1.3L

100, by myself, and no one in sight for miles.

Same with me, 100 mph. I didn't try for a higher speed.

yup me too. I know I tried setting it real low once. 1st gear creep but it wouldn't go. Not sure if it even works in 1st gear. But I've ran cruise at 20 or 25mph I know.

IIRC, the lowest I had it on was 15 or 19mph before it wouldn't let me engage it. I have an AT though, so there may be a difference.

yea, I believe 20 is the lowest. I dont think there's a highest. I set mine on 120 once, **cough* on a track.

haha, cruise control on a track. Must've been a round track :)

Cruise will shut off at some engine load
I was going up a steep hill and it kicked off, probably at about 80%
So maybe the limit is load based?

I think the little RX-8 Guide Book that comes with the car says 30mph minimum.

yea for manuals it is, itll shut off telling our dumbasses to downshift :rofl:

Had this happen in an Altima rental car. If it couldn't maintain the speed going uphill, it'd just shut off.... It did that a lot. heh.

dont it at 90ish but havent tried higher .... ive set it at 19/20 mph before but again i have an at

It works at 25 mph but you should never be on cruise at low speed as that's how you run over the neighborhood kid.

I am in the military, and on base there is a 15mph section, so the lowest ihave gotten my manual to is 17. I guess i havent tried first gear, which i will monday, but that is the lowest i have succeeded to set it to.

I can set it as low as 30mph and as high as 135mph, don't ask.
