How to activate cruise control on Audi A6?

[OJason]

Audi A6 activates cruise control by pulling the lever-type switch forward. The cruise control system, also known as speed control device, automatically maintains the vehicle speed as required by the driver without pressing the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. The dimensions of Audi A6 are: length 4951mm, width 1886mm, height 1483mm, with a wheelbase of 2925mm. Audi A6 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering maximum power of 140kW (190PS), mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I used to drive an Audi A6 frequently, and the cruise control was quite convenient to use. First, accelerate to over 30 km/h, for example, around 60 km/h on the highway. Then, locate the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel and gently flick it to activate the cruise system, followed by pressing the SET button to lock the current speed. This allows your foot to rest, but you must stay attentive while driving and not let your mind wander completely. Adjusting the speed is easy with the +/- buttons—press once to speed up and once to slow down. To exit, press CANCEL or step on the brake to return to manual control. The key is to use it when the road is clear—safety always comes first, otherwise, minor accidents can easily occur. It's also important to check the button responsiveness during regular maintenance to avoid malfunctions at critical moments.

When taking long-distance trips in my Audi A6, I absolutely love using cruise control to save effort. First, accelerate to the desired speed, which must be at least 30 km/h—I usually set it to 70 or 80. Then, simply press the dedicated SET button on the right side of the steering wheel once, and the speed is locked in. After that, there’s no need to keep your foot on the accelerator, making long drives much more relaxed. Adjusting the speed is easy—just push the up or down buttons. For safety, remember to keep your eyes on the road and be ready to cancel the cruise control if someone suddenly cuts in on the highway. It’s simple and practical for daily use, saving me a lot of energy and making driving feel much less tiring.

I learned how to activate the cruise control right after I started driving my Audi A6. It's quite simple: first, I press the accelerator to get the speed above 30 km/h; then, I locate the small control lever near the steering wheel and flip it to turn on the system; when the current speed is suitable, I press SET to lock it in. After that, it maintains the speed automatically, and I can cancel it by braking or pressing the button. Learn it quickly to avoid panic later.

Using cruise control in the Audi A6 for commuting helps save energy. Once the speed exceeds 30, simply press the SET button on the steering wheel to maintain the current speed. It works best on highways, allowing you to relax your feet while keeping your eyes on the road for safety. A small detail is that the buttons are conveniently located on the steering wheel stalk.
