The switch is located on the steering lever. Toggle switch A to the "on" position, and after activation, a corresponding icon will illuminate on the driving display. Once the vehicle reaches the desired speed, press "set" and release the button to lock in the selected speed.
The cruise control setup for the Skoda Octavia is quite simple, and I often use this feature on long highway drives to save energy. First, start the vehicle and wait for the engine to run normally. Drive at a certain speed, usually above 30 km/h, to activate it. There’s a cruise control button on the left side of the steering wheel—press it, and a symbol will appear on the dashboard, indicating it’s ready. Then, maintain a steady speed and press the SET button or toggle the small lever to set the current speed. While driving, if you want to adjust the speed, you can use the acceleration or deceleration buttons for convenience. I’ve found it’s important to be cautious when using it in rainy conditions—avoid relying on it on slippery roads. Regularly checking if this function works properly is a good idea, as the Octavia’s cruise control is quite responsive, helping maintain a steady speed and avoid speeding. To cancel it, simply press the brake or the cancel button, or turn off the switch directly. Resuming is also easy by pressing RES. I think this feature is especially useful on highways, reducing the risk of fatigue driving. However, remember to only activate it on clear roads—avoid using it in heavy traffic to prevent mistakes.
