Ok I know this is an old thread but there is another way to switch of the cruise control. Just pull the gear stick out of gear while you are moving. As the revs increase without a speed increase the cruise detects a problem and knocks off. The revs only had to increase a little as well before it switched off, I was expecting to to rev quite high. Well it did on the piece of junk Vauxhall Meriva we had as a courtesy car. Yes I tried all sorts of things in it like that
Then again I had a works hire car a few years ago, it was at Astra SRi, that thing was stupid, you could engage cruise in 2nd gear and keep pressing the button for increase speed until the revs hit the red line.
A piece of advice, don't buy and ex hire car
Oh yes and don't ever buy a Vauxhall Meriva, horrible car, one of the worst I have ever driven.
