xcaliber81 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Took a 1800 km road trip in my car and I noticed a few times my cruise shut off once I hit a pretty good dip in the road and the second I think I may have hydroplaned, Both times I had to turn the cruise on and reset my speed it this normal operation for cruise control?

jkeaton Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Think so. If it detects and abnormal wheel spin, it will shut it off. Guess you hit that dip hard enough for a tire to lose contact with the pavement momentarily or just hard enough where the computer thought you were losing control.

xcaliber81 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) It was a pretty good dip. Heh I also found out I have a turn signal dummy light after about 1.5 kms I get a message lol. Also Both times I was going about 130kph.

dhh3 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Depending on how many tires were hydroplaning, the wheel sensors picked up different rotational speeds of the tires and shut it off. It is pretty amazing how quickly this happens. My brain should work as good! LOL Edited March 22, 2015 by dhh3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the system detects a loss of traction (vehicle hydroplaning), it will disengage as a safety feature. This feature is great for those commuting on higher speed highways with heavy snow cover considering you could come up to a thicker patch and remain in control. Keep an eye on things, get your Journey to your dealer if you feel something is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
