How to Use Volvo Cruise Control?

[Addyson]

Volvo cruise control is used as follows: 1. The cruise control of Volvo is located on the lever on the left side of the steering wheel. 2. Push the lever inward to enter the standby cruise state, and the cruise icon will be displayed on the dashboard. 3. When the speed reaches 20km/h, press the button at the top of the lever to activate the cruise function. The vehicle will record the current speed and maintain this speed. 4. During cruise control, push the lever upward to increase the speed by 1km/h per push. 5. During cruise control, push the lever downward to decrease the speed by 1km/h per push. 6. Gently push the lever outward to temporarily exit the cruise function. To resume the cruise function, gently push it inward once. 7. Push the lever all the way out to exit the cruise.

To activate Volvo's cruise control function, which I frequently use on highways, it operates via buttons on the steering wheel. Simply put, the first step is to enable the system in a safe area: locate the button labeled 'CRUISE' on the right or left side of the steering wheel, press it to illuminate the indicator light, indicating the cruise is on standby. The second step is to set the speed: once the vehicle speed stabilizes above 40 kilometers per hour, press the 'SET+' button to lock the current speed. After that, you can release the accelerator, and the car will automatically maintain the set speed. The third step is to adjust or cancel: press 'RES+' to increase speed or 'SET-' to decrease speed; to pause the cruise, gently apply the brakes or press the 'CANCEL' button. To resume the previous speed after cancellation, simply press the 'RES' key. In practice, it's recommended to use it only on open highways, avoiding activation during rain, snow, or congested roads. Beyond these basics, Volvo's system offers good stability, saving fuel and reducing fatigue on long trips, but don't rely on it for full autonomous driving—always keep your foot near the brake to prevent accidents. Regularly checking the vehicle's electronic modules can prevent potential malfunctions.
