Where are the cruise controls?

I'm looking at buying an 06 MINI S convertible. The ad says it has cruise, but there are no controls on the steering wheel. Where are the cruise controls located? Anyone?

I dunno for sure but I think if the controls are not on the steering wheel that the MINI doesn't have cruise control. In my '05 the 4 buttons to the right of the horn operate the cruise.

Yes, bamatt is right. My 06' has the cruise buttons to the right of the horn on the steering wheel.

Sounds like someone messed up on the ad for that one. Cruise is on the right of the Wheel

Maybe it has "Hillbilly cruise control"... Was there a brick on the drivers' side floor? Maybe a 2.5 foot piece of dowel to jam between the seat and gas pedal?

cruise control is a four-way pad on the right spoke of the steering wheel. Looks like a nintendo controller. Identical to the one on the left spoke, which controls the stereo.

Cruise was standard on my '06 cabrio.

All true . . . except it's not standard -- so don't expect it in every cabrio. Multi-function 3-spoke steering wheel is a stand-alone option or part of premium package.
