Volkswagen Tayron's cruise control switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel buttons. Usage of Volkswagen Tayron's cruise control: Press the power button to activate the system, accelerate to the desired speed (above 40km/h), then press the SET button. At this point, you can release the accelerator pedal, and the speed will be set at the current speed. Press RES+ to increase speed from the current setting, or press SET- to decrease speed from the current setting. Press the RES button to resume. Introduction to Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a vehicle feature that allows the cruise control system to adjust speed according to traffic conditions. A radar installed at the front of the vehicle detects whether there are slower vehicles ahead. If a slower vehicle is detected, the ACC system will reduce speed and maintain a safe distance or time gap from the vehicle ahead.
The automatic cruise control switch of the Volkswagen Tayron is located on the left side of the steering wheel, which is easy to find. There are several buttons on the left spoke of the steering wheel, and the leftmost button with a speedometer icon is the main cruise control switch. Press it once, and a green cruise icon will appear on the dashboard, indicating the system is activated. Then, drive to your desired speed and press the SET button next to it to lock the current speed. There are also acceleration and deceleration adjustment buttons on the steering wheel, conveniently placed within easy reach of your thumb. I often use this feature on highways to free up my right foot, which is very convenient. However, a reminder: don’t use cruise control in complex urban traffic conditions; always be ready to take over the steering wheel in case of sudden situations—safety first. The switch layout is much more user-friendly compared to older models.
On the left side of the Tayron's steering wheel, the cruise control button area is quite prominent. The button in the middle with the speedometer icon is the master switch—press it, and the cruise icon will light up on the dashboard. After accelerating to your desired speed, press the SET button to lock it in. The steering wheel also has +/- buttons to adjust speed, and the RES key resumes the previously set speed. I always use cruise control on long drives, but remember to test the brake sensitivity after each startup. Also, avoid using cruise on wet roads after rain, as the system might not react quickly enough. The Tayron's button layout is well-designed, allowing you to see them with just a glance while driving—no need to look down. When I first got the car, it took me a bit to get used to it, but now I can operate it blindfolded.
