When trying to use the cruise control it just will not set. I have tried pressing brake pedal as stated in other replies but nothing seems to work. I came across someone who mentioned a "neutral switch " which also apparently is a common fault which affects the gearchange display which has also disappeared . I do not know what this switch is or where to start looking.

A few years back, maybe 5/6 yrs there was a problem with CC.

It was related to footbrake switch - maybe not your problem - it took Hyundai 1+ yrs to fix it then.

Hi there ,

Sorry no luck. Had car in for mot and asked garage to have a look but they said i would have to take it to hyundai dealer ,

If you have any luck , let me know what your answer was

I've been having the same trouble as described in the thread with my 2012 ix35 2Ltr 4x4 although my gear change indicator is working. The Cruise Control selection indicator comes 'On' but it won't Set. I've had various part (Brake Switch, Clutch Switch, Steering wheel switches etc) replaced over the last few years which has occasionally resolved it for a few months. I’ve also tried various fixes seen on-line none have which have worked for me.

That said I have found a way to get it so clear its head and set.

This is what seems to work for me at present.

Need to be driving at about 50mph (above 2000rpm) with the Cruise Selected (not Set, not that it will Set).

Press the “Cancel” button on the steering wheel and hold it down.

Now with the Cancel pressed press the Clutch down fully and Brake at the same time but keeping above 30mph (only need a couple of seconds). Releasing the Clutch, Brake and Cancel button and my Set button now works and I can set Cruise and adjust it with the steering wheel buttons !!

Why I don’t know but it works 9/10 times when the Cruise plays up.

Hi Chaps, First time on a forum!!!

I have just purchased 2012 IX35 1.7 CRD manual from my parents, It is mint, Fully dealler serviced and well cared for, has 43K gen miles. Now 2 days into owning it it has what appears to be same fault as described above. It starts and runs ok!!!

1. Cruise control is selectable (lights up on dash) but no control of speed.

2. No gear change indication

3. DBC has since lit up in red and won't reset - no other symptoms or running issues are experienced.

Anyone actually managed to find a fix on this? Hyundai want £105 for hrs diagnostics.

Some are saying gearbox neutral switch any idea where this is located.

Hi did anyone ever come up with a solution for this? My car went into the garage to have some work done and the DBC light came on red on my drive home. Back to the garage but they couldn't find any faults on the reader. Gear change indicator is no longer active and cruise control won't set.

Clutch switch was changed as per another forums recommendation but didn't fix it.

Seems crazy these cars are all picking up the same fault but there doesn't seem to be a fix out there.

I don't know if this may help or not,but on a Honda crv cruise clutch switch has a plastic

operator on the pedal that operates the switch,after about 5 years this drops off the pedal.

It is a disc of white plastic held in place by an arrow head shaped spike,which breaks off.
