Cruise control

Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

Yes. You can increase or decrease by 1 mph with the buttons. Every car that I owned with cruise control had that feature, I believe. It may be standard for modern cruise control.

That's good to know. Yes, I would guess most cars made in the last decade would have the 1mph increment feature, but some are easier to use than others. I know I've had rentals of various makes/models over the years and some CC systems are very touchy with adjustments while others have a "lag" that makes the speed jump forward/backward by 2-3 mph.

Also, (didn't want to make a new thread if this has already been covered) has anyone tried to hack into the hidden features of the multi-function display between the tach and speedo? I know it can display average MPH (right?) so it should be able to function as a digital speedo as well. On my wifes Equinox I never even look at the analog speedo...and it makes setting the cruise control a breeze.

My navi system functions as a digital speedo. It reads out how fast I am going and the speed limit for the street I'm on. The Kenwood navi system ( garmin) is awsome in my book.

I would guess that the majority of Kizashi's don't have the factory nav. Seems like an oversight not to include a digital speedo option in the info display...especially when so many other details in this car were done the right way.
