How to Use the Cruise Control on BMW X1?
2 Answers
To use the cruise control on the BMW X1: 1. Press the rocker switch when the system is inactive to activate it. Once activated, the system will maintain the current driving speed and store it as the desired speed. 2. The stored speed will be displayed on the speedometer and briefly shown on the instrument cluster. If necessary, DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) will also be enabled. 3. Repeatedly press the rocker switch up or down until the desired speed is set. The BMW X1 is a model produced by BMW, with dimensions of 4454mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1545mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2760mm. The vehicle is equipped with features such as a 10.25-inch central LCD touchscreen, a full-color head-up display system, a smartphone integration system, BMW ConnectedDrive, and a natural voice recognition system.
Using the cruise control on the BMW X1 is actually quite simple. I usually rely on it to reduce fatigue when driving on the highway. The system can only be activated when the car reaches speeds above 30 km/h. On the left side of the steering wheel, there's a lever or button labeled 'CC' or with a cruise icon—press it to turn on the system, and a white indicator will appear on the dashboard. Then, accelerate to your desired speed, such as the highway speed limit of 120 km/h, and gently push the SET button on the lever upwards. Once the indicator turns green, the speed is successfully set. At this point, releasing the accelerator pedal will allow the car to maintain the speed automatically. To adjust the speed, use the +/- buttons on the lever. If there’s a car ahead, simply press the brake or the CANCEL button to temporarily pause the system. Later, pressing the RES button will resume the original speed. A quick reminder: avoid using it in heavy traffic or on winding roads—safety first. Before driving, it’s a good idea to check the manual, as the button positions may vary slightly depending on the model year of the X1.
