Oooohh boy, these next few months are gonna kill me.
What kind of CC system is that? I wonder if it could be modified to be a true hypermiling CC.

It's a Meritor-Wabco system, radar cruise control. The terrain feature is cool, and I like that on the cruise control screen you can see how fast the vehicle in front of you is going and how far in front of you they are. Unfortunately those are the only kind words I can give it. Slowing down can be abrupt, and even fairly gentle curves will prompt it to pulse on and off the power. Before I got used to it, it was downright dangerous. It also malfunctions easily in the rain, and you have to park it for ten minutes or so before it will work again.
