Like many cruise control systems there are the working controls and sepearate master power switch that can disable cruise control so it can't be turned on accidentally. The working controls to set speed, acc and off are on the steering wheel. There is a master power switch though on the center area of the dash next to the left of heater controls on a US model. It is a picture of a road running straight under an overpass.
The system is vaccumm controlled though and if you have a vaccumm leak it will not work. They are pretty easy to fix though and easy to see. Open the hood and find the throttle body assembly. Look for the throttle cable and in that area there should be a black soft plastic hose about the thickness of a pen. If this is diconnected from any connectors or cracked the cruise control won't work. Good Luck!
If you have an owners manual it should be in there normally the cruise controls are on the steering wheel if you do not have an owners manual try one online from for owners manuals online: www.edmonds.com

if it stopped working make sure your brake lights aren't on. If they are you have a bad brake switch (located under the brake pedal). It's easy to replace. If the lights are not on check the vacuum hose isn't split coming off the intake area. easy fix as well.

Ya, my Land Rover didnt come with the owners manual, and i havent come across a Chilton or Haynes book in the local automotive stores yet, so ya, that little button of a road running straight under an overpass was actually my guess on how to engage the cruise....unforntunately nothing happens, so now i gotta get under the hood and find that hose or connecter and fix it...my problem is my lead foot, i speed too much so i constantly need to use it!!!
