| When the steering wheel is in the drive position, it can't be seen from 40mph and up. in order to set the cruise control, the driver would have to take the attention off of the road because they're unable to view the speedometer due to the steering wheel or the dashboard design. ts the brakes needed excessive effort in order to stop. upon the second application of the brakes, the cruise control was disengaged. scc | |||
