How to Turn Off Cruise Control?
2 Answers
Cruise control can be turned off by: 1. Pressing the brake pedal or clutch pedal to temporarily deactivate the cruise control system; 2. Sliding the switch to the 'off' position or turning off the ignition when the vehicle is stationary to completely shut down the cruise control system. The cruise control button, labeled 'CCS', is located below the left side of the steering wheel. Its function is to maintain the vehicle speed automatically without pressing the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to drive at a constant speed. To use cruise control: 1. When the speed is above 40 km/h, press the 'CCS' button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate it; 2. Adjust the speed slightly using the 'RES' and 'SET' buttons to increase or decrease the vehicle speed.
Turning off cruise control is actually quite simple. I often use this feature on highways. The common method is to tap the brake pedal—just a slight touch will deactivate the cruise control, which is very convenient and safe. Alternatively, you can press the cancel button (CANCEL) with an 'X' symbol on the steering wheel—one press will stop it. If you want to fully turn off the system, just press the cruise control switch (ON/OFF) on the center console once. For manual transmission cars, there's another neat trick: pressing the clutch pedal will immediately deactivate it. However, I should remind everyone not to use the method of shifting to neutral—it works but can damage the transmission. In emergencies, stepping on the brake pedal is the most reliable option, as this design is meant to align with the driver's instinctive reaction. It’s good to practice different methods in daily use to familiarize yourself with the button locations in your car.
