Where is the cruise control on the Audi A3?
2 Answers
Audi A3 cruise control switch is located on the lower left side of the steering wheel (behind the seven o'clock direction). The following is a detailed introduction about cruise control: Cruise control refers to controlling the car's constant speed driving. The main functions include turning off/resuming cruise control, setting speed limits, speed adjustment, and for the sports version, there is also distance adjustment. 1. The SET button on the left side of the lever can set the cruise function. Moving the lever up and down can adjust the cruise speed, and moving the lever forward and backward can cancel the cruise or restore the previous cruise setting. 2. For vehicles equipped with ACC adaptive cruise control, there will also be a knob on the lever to adjust the following distance. Moving it up and down can set the distance of the following car.
I've been driving an Audi A3 for several years, and the cruise control is located on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel, usually the small lever next to the turn signal stalk. Using it is simple: while driving, first press the activation button on the stalk, then use the accelerator to reach your desired speed, and finally push the stalk downward to set the cruise speed. It automatically maintains the speed, which is especially convenient and effortless on long trips. However, the position may vary slightly depending on the model year of the A3, such as earlier models or higher trims where the buttons might be closer to the steering wheel. Always check that the indicator light is on after each activation to avoid misuse. This feature is incredibly practical—it has saved me a lot on fuel costs and time, especially on highways.
