Where is the cruise control switch on the Audi A6?

The cruise control on the Audi A6 is located below the turn signal on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Below is relevant information about cruise control: 1. Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, which continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and driving resistance to keep the vehicle at the set speed without the need to operate the accelerator. Cruise control systems have become standard equipment in mid-to-high-end sedans. Generally, cruise control is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal or clutch is pressed. 2. There is a button on the control lever; cruise control can be activated at speeds above 40 km/h. It includes speed adjustment keys—left for acceleration and right for deceleration. Using the brake during cruise control automatically ends the cruise mode. This feature reduces driver fatigue during long highway drives by eliminating the need to control the accelerator pedal, while also minimizing unnecessary speed variations and saving fuel.
I've been driving an Audi A6 for three years, and the cruise control switch is on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel. You can see it by turning your head slightly—there's a small button at the top of the stalk labeled 'CRUISE.' Normally, you can operate it with your left index finger: pull down to activate cruise control, push up to increase speed, and pull inward to decrease speed. Remember, after activation, you need to see the green indicator on the dashboard to confirm it's engaged. Once on the highway, I accidentally bumped the adjacent wiper stalk, causing the cruise control to suddenly cancel, which gave me a scare. Beginners should distinguish between these two stalks—the right wiper stalk is thicker, while the left cruise stalk is slimmer and longer.
