Where is the Cruise Control Switch on the Camry?
2 Answers
The cruise control switch on the Camry is located on the right-hand side of the steering wheel near the driver's seat, on the control lever. The main buttons are as follows: ON/OFF (power button), CANCEL (cancel button), SET (set current speed), and RES (resume set speed). Acceleration is usually combined with the RES button, while deceleration (-) is combined with the SET button. Precautions for using cruise control in the Toyota Camry are as follows: 1. Cruise control requires the driver to press the brake pedal for adaptive braking to engage automatically. 2. Pressing the brake pedal will deactivate cruise control, but the previously set speed value remains stored in the system and can be resumed directly. 3. Using cruise control can be hazardous on winding, steep, bumpy, slippery roads, or in heavy traffic. 4. On downhill slopes, the vehicle may exceed the set cruise speed, requiring the driver to assist with braking manually and, if necessary, turn off cruise control.
Driving a Camry is so convenient with the cruise control switch right on the steering wheel. Most trims position it in the multifunction button area on the right side. There's a button with a speedometer icon—press it to activate the system, then hit the adjacent SET button to lock in your current speed. It's a real energy-saver on highways while helping manage fuel efficiency. I noticed the 2020 model's buttons had excellent tactile feedback and ergonomic placement. Note that earlier Camrys like the 2015 model had the control on a left-side stalk, but newer versions integrate everything into the steering wheel buttons. Always stay alert when cruise is engaged—cancel immediately in traffic jams or complex road conditions, as safety comes first. First-time users should check the manual diagrams or search online for model-specific images; the system is intuitive once you locate the controls.
