Omega, Indicator stalk... - Dough Boy
Hi, bought my 96 2.0 Omega CD, needed a big cheap run around. Please can someone tell me, on the indicator stalk there are 3 small buttons marked l, R and O... what do they do..? Seem unable to locate an owners manual so if anyone can point me in the right direction, most appreciated.

Huge thanks, DB

Pure guess.

Cruise control?

Cruise control?


Yep.

To activate:
Tap button I: the current speed is stored and maintained. The accelerator pedal can be released.
The vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed.

Increase
With cruise control active, hold down button I or tap it repeatedly: the speed is increased continuously or in steps of 1.2 mph (2 km/h) without using the accelerator pedal.
The current speed is stored and saved after the I button has been released.

Reduce
With cruise control active, hold down button R or tap it repeatedly: the speed is reduced continuously or in steps of 1.2 mph (2 km/h).
The current speed is stored and saved after the R button has been released.

To deactivate:
Tap button O: the cruise control is switched off. The vehicle slowly decelerates. To continue driving, depress the accelerator pedal in the usual way.

The cruise control is also switched off when:
1. the vehicle's speed drops below approx. 20 mph (30 km/h) or
2. the brake pedal is depressed or
3. the clutch pedal is depressed or
4. the selector lever of vehicles with automatic transmission is set to N.

Resuming the stored speed
Tap button R at a speed above 20 mph (30 km/h) : the speed selected before the cruise control was switched off is resumed.

The stored speed is erased when the ignition is switched off.

All info taken from the June 2002 manual, but still relevant to your car.

The June 2002 manual is available for download in pdf format from the Vauxhall website.
