- In the cruise control I installed in my car there is
- a "sensitivity" control. This cuts out the cruise control if
- the revs go up to quickly. This was adjustable 'cause some
- cars normally accelerate quickly, it would be a pain if
- your cruise control cut out every time it engaged.
- Fortunately (unfortunatly?) this is not a problem
- with Subarus.
