cruise control light 2009 Kluger

[ToXiCFiSH79]

G'day all,

Quick question - is the cruise control light (in the dash) always green (when turned on)?

For example - in a mazda, you turn the cruise control module "ON" and it will illuminate "Cruise" in Orange/Amber. When you set a speed to make it "active" it turns green (while it is actually in control of speed).

In a holden, there is an "ON" mode and an "ACTIVE" mode aswell, displayed differently.

In the kluger, when you press the cruise button "ON" the dash illuminates 'cruise' as green, then when you activate it to a set speed, it stays the same green colour, so the only way i know its working or active is to look at the speedo to see if it drops speed or not....

is it just me or is that a bit of a no-no with cruise control?

Yeah it's always green when "on" and no change when "set".

My wifes new Fiesta has no indication when "on" but is green when "set".

Both the Mazda and Holden are better than the Kluger and Fiesta but the Kluger's is better that the Fiesta.

Other Toyota models I've driven provide only the one ON indication for cruise control. I too would prefer different ON and SET indications. I would also prefer that the cruise control remember its ON/OFF state from previously when I start the car. Near where I live there are some long, wide stretches of 50 km/h road and the Kluger is so quiet the only way I can reliably keep the speed down to 50 km/h is to engage the cruise control!
