Challenger 210 cruise control activation

[gb387]

Anyone know how to activate the cruise control on a 2010 210 Challenger? I have the option but it tells me it "can not be activated", is there a trick to it? Any help or suggestions would be great!

Should be like this:

1) get to desired speed
2) menu button twice to get to cruise control
3) press set
4) press and hold set to activate.
5) advance throttle all the way

Ski mode:
1) set ramp speed
2) set desired speed (min/max speed varies by ramp setting)
3) activate ski mode
4) advance throttle all the way

Eco mode
1) menu to eco mode (third option, I believe)
2) set/set hold to activate
3) advance throttle all the way
4) boat will find optimum cruise speed, but will take forever to get to that speed with more than a few people on the boat.

Hope that helps. Cruise control is awesome when going for long stretches. I use it all the time.

Thanks, I will give that a try. We use ski and eco mode all the time and find them extremely useful.

One more thing. In cruise mode, speed can be adjusted with the menu toggle switch.

I think step 1 above is the key, you have to be moving first. I think the first few times I tried cruise mode I wanted to set it like you do ski mode, and have it automatically accelerate to the desired speed, and I then it told me it "can not be activated".

Figured it out.... Works great and very handy. I think we will be using this setting frequently! Thanks everyone.

it's one of my favorite features on the boat. No bogging when turning, don't have to be on and off the throttle to maintain speed.
