Hi
have you activated your cruise control as it sounds like the cruise control emblem that's on your dash board, if it was anything sinister the warning light would be yellow or red in colour
I hope this helps Nick
. Hello, "arthur o'neill". Your car has parts under the hood to engage and control the throttle. Those parts, as well as others, such as the speedometer, and its cable must all be working properly, for cruise control to work. Either take it a mechanic, or get a 'shop manual', for your particular model.
Hello there has been a recall on these from ford so it will be worth asking them first to see if yours has been done. Secondly check your brake lights to make sure they are operating correctly,as this can stop your cruise control working. Do you have any warning lights on the dash? Faulty ABS can stop cruise coming on. Also check for any connections for corrosion.
Look at your brake master cylinder, open the top to it, and check your brake fluid. If low, that is why the brake light is on. Or check to see if your emergency brake is pushed in. Check your fuses for the cruise control. Hope this helps, James Booth
Your brakes warning light or your actual brake lights? If it is your warning light that can come Monday if you're park break is on or slightly on or the switch that says that it is on is faulty, in which case it may tell your cruise control to turn off. If your brake lights stay on there's something pul to you about your switch by the pedal as your cruise will not work when you hit the bricks and this will be perceived as you hitting the brakes. A break warning light will also, come on if your brake fluid is low.
Here's a list of your dash lights and their meanings

I have the same problem with the Cruise Control not available coming up but I had a smiliar problem with the ABS and Engine light coming on when battery was pretty much dead, it was hard to steer and brake.. may be something different with your car..
not a volvo mechanic but on most american cars the abs and stc modules are in direct corilation with the cruise even though the cruise is most likely ran from vacume the disengagement is electrical.
