On press should activate cruise control and one more press should activate speed limiter.
Have you tried pushing on "MODE" button more than once?
As Santa says, press the mode button once and you will see the cruise control light come up on the dash. Press it again and the speed limiter light will come on. When you have selected either you then press the set button to enable it.

The older version has a separate toggle for the cruise control to the limiter (and separate cancel/ reset buttons)whereas the new model combines the two. In effect they've got rid of two buttons.
I totally agree, I prefer the old system that I have in mine.

You have to be driving at a minimum speed before engaging the cruise control. Only then will the light will come on.

You should also be able to the details of the cruise control or speed limiter on the infoscreen on the right (next to the rev counter).

Just noticed the posting time stamp is still on GMT & not BST. I didn't think I was up that early.

I've just been out for a drive and the cruise control is working and the green clock icon lights up in the display panel. I could have sworn the cruise icon notification was green or orange and said cruise and not just the green clock :?
Does everyone else here have the same display of showing the green clock and not the word cruise
