My in-laws have a Sonata Hybrid with this, and use cruise control on the highway and the car WILL NOT maintain the speed you set if it “sees” a speed limit sign. It will slow down to match the sigh anyway.
I’ve seen this firsthand. I was driving their car on I-81 last year and set cruise to 78 mph. Within a couple miles, the car had slowed down to 70 mph and was holding that. I reset it for 78 mph again, got up to speed, and it slowed down again immediately. It was infuriating.
So it might not be the driver…..at least, not entirely.
You should never be on cruise control in the passing lane. The passing lane is for actively passing. Use cruise control when you’re in the right lane. Just because you’re going over the speed limit is no reason to sit in the left lane.
Go back and re-read my post, please.
Did I mention anything about being in the left lane? Did I?
No, I didn’t.
Check yourself, jerk.

Disagree. I set my cruise control at 120 mph and pass everyone while in left lane. Move over slow poke.

Why do genesis drivers tend to be terrible drivers? It tends to be the folks driving the speed limit on the highway in the left lane and not getting the hint to move over.
