2 Answers
Audi A3 cruise control usage: 1. Gently push the lever inward to cancel cruise control, push it all the way to OFF to turn off cruise control, and pull it outward to RES to resume cruise control; 2. Turning on cruise control does not mean the car will automatically maintain a fixed speed. You also need to press the SET button on the left side of the lever to set the speed; 3. The SPEED button is for speed adjustment. Lift it up to increase speed and push it down to decrease speed. The Audi A3 is a sedan produced by Audi, developed based on the Volkswagen MQB platform. Its dimensions are 4292mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1423mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2578mm. The front suspension of the Audi A3 is MacPherson strut type, and the rear axle features a torsion and crank-type structure with separately arranged springs and shock absorbers.
Driving my Audi A3 on the highway, the cruise control is a real game-changer! First, accelerate to the desired speed, say 80 km/h, then locate the cruise control lever or button on the left side of the steering wheel—usually the one with a speedometer icon. Gently push it to activate, then use the up arrow to set the speed. To cancel, simply hit the brake or press the cancel button. Note that the minimum speed usually needs to be above 30 km/h to take effect, otherwise it may display an error. It’s especially handy for long trips, giving your feet a break, but avoid relying on it during rainy, snowy, or hilly conditions—just stay alert. Once set, the car automatically maintains speed, reducing fatigue risks, perfect for weekend getaways to free up your feet. If the buttons aren’t responding, first check if the gear is in D mode—don’t try it in manual mode. In short, it’s simple to operate and quick to master—just practice a few times and you’ll get the hang of it.
