How to activate cruise control on Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5's cruise control switch is located on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Main functions include cancel/resume cruise, set speed limit, speed adjustment, and distance adjustment for sport models. Specific operation steps are as follows: 1. Push downward to cancel cruise, push one more position to turn off cruise, pull outward to resume preset cruising speed. 2. Turning on cruise control doesn't mean the car will automatically maintain speed - you must press SET to establish speed (only works above 30km/h). 3. SPEED button adjusts speed: lift to increase, press down to decrease. 4. LIM button: speed limiter function. 5. DISTANCE button: adjusts following distance - pull up to increase, push down to decrease.
Using the cruise control on an Audi Q5 is actually quite simple, and I often use it this way. While driving, first accelerate to your desired speed, for example, 100 kilometers per hour on the highway, then look for the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Gently push it inward to set the current speed. Pushing it up increases the speed, and pushing it down decreases the speed; stepping on the brake or pulling the lever outward cancels it. Note that the speed must be above 30 kilometers per hour to enable this function. Using cruise control on long-distance drives is especially convenient—your legs won’t get tired, and it can even save some fuel. Avoid using it in congested areas to prevent tailgating accidents. Once set, the system is very stable, but you still need to keep an eye on road conditions and keep your hands on the steering wheel, ready to take manual control at any time.
