I it would be a bit of a safety issue.
^ what happens if you tap the brake gently then try to accelerate?
The system as described by eye30 would be downright dangerous IMO. There are times when kickdown or high acceleration may be required, I wouldn't be too happy about the car overriding my instructions ever.
Never heard of that
It is the SPEED LIMITER which set the max speed you can go at.
So, you have a Hy OEM one fitted or is it aftermarket

This speed limiter was mentioned in AlanHo's excellent "First Impressions" of the new model i30.... https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=14198.msg155837#msg155837
depressing the accelerator pedal over 80% deactivates it temporarily and the car accelerates normally as if there was nothing holding it back.

Dazzler, do you also have 'B' mode on your transmission like there is in Prius? I am not sure whether the CC disengages when changing from D to B.
The Hyundai speed limiter will not help you Dazz. On my car it prevents me from driving beyond the above limit when using the throttle - but on a steep downslope with foot off the accelerator the car will gather speed. The brakes are not linked in and must be manually applied

I am not sure whether the CC disengages when changing from D to B.Yes it does and I use it for say very steep 80kph hills, but medium, faster down slopes with the cruise on it slows the car down too much

Doesn't it maintain the speed?
