Where is the cruise control on the BMW X1?
2 Answers
The cruise control operation buttons for the BMW X1 are located on the left side of the steering wheel. Below are the specific details about the BMW X1 cruise control function: 1. The cruise control can only be activated when the vehicle speed is above 30km/h, with the adjustable speed range set between 30km/h and 230km/h. 2. The rocker switch provides two operation levels in both directions. When using the first level, each operation of the switch changes the set speed in 1km/h increments. When using the second level, the speed changes in 10km/h increments. 3. To prevent accidental activation, the I/0 button must be operated first after starting the vehicle. Additional information: Once the BMW X1 cruise control system is activated, it maintains the current driving speed and stores it as the desired speed. The stored speed is displayed in the speedometer and briefly shown in the instrument cluster. If necessary, DSC will also be activated. Then, frequently press the rocker switch up or down until the desired speed is set.
I've been driving the BMW X1 for a while now, and the cruise control is conveniently located on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel. It's very user-friendly—just push the stalk downward to activate it. This feature is especially helpful on highways as it maintains a constant speed without needing to keep your foot on the accelerator. BMW might integrate some buttons on the steering wheel for more advanced settings, but the X1 primarily uses the stalk. Before using it, make sure your speed is above 30 km/h, or the system won't respond. Personally, I find it a great companion for long drives, reducing fatigue, but remember to turn it off in heavy traffic to avoid accidents. Beginners should practice in an open area a few times to get used to it before using it on the road—safety comes first. Overall, the placement is ergonomic and aligns with BMW's minimalist design.
