Q. When I hit my Cruise control there is a delay before it kicks in.  Is this normal or is there a way to fix it?

A. This is common on both 1500 and the new 1800 models and there is a workaround: Hit the "set" button, then immediately hit the "up" button as if you were accelerating.  This reduces the delay to an almost unnoticeable pause.


Q. Can I override the self-cancelling turn signal?
