Default Help me with this idiot light please! no manual :(

o.k. I seemed to have lost my manual and this idiot light is boggling my mind!

It is on the rightmost bottom and is lit up green. It almost looks like a speedo with an arrow pointing to the middle of it. I don't even know what this idiot light is for!

I JUST took the car out of storage... all temps are fine.. no funny sounds.. started right up.. but the light never went off.

Anyone?????

That's the cruise control light. Push the little button at the end of the cruise control stalk and it'll turn off.

LOL.. thanks, I REALLY feel like an idiot now! ...but I just couldn't resist top down today ...and since I haven't driven the car since last year, I simply couldn't come up with what that was.....

Yeah had that happen, last year when I bought the car I tested the CC and then a week or so later I noticed the light was off, I had no idea it meant the CC was armed. Looked it up in the manual, and went D'oh!

I have had this happen on and off. I can't seem to figure out why I start the car sometimes and it is on .. and others when I start the car and it is off. Seems to have a mind of it's own, or i'm losing mine.

It's easy to "bump" it on when using the stalk...
