Does Cruise Control Require Pressing the Accelerator?
1 Answers
Cruise control does not require pressing the accelerator. Once the cruise control system is set, it maintains the selected speed automatically, so there is no need to press the accelerator. To cancel cruise control, simply apply the brakes. Important Notes: Cruise control typically has a dedicated switch. Once activated, you can set the desired speed above a certain threshold. Generally, there is an independent indicator light on the dashboard that illuminates when cruise control is active. Note that activation does not mean the speed is set—setting the speed requires a separate operation, a design feature to prevent accidental activation. Advantages of Cruise Control: Using cruise control during long highway drives allows the driver to avoid manually controlling the accelerator pedal, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed fluctuations, which can also help save fuel.
