Which button is the cruise control on the Elantra?
2 Answers
Beijing Hyundai Elantra 1.6L's cruise control button is located on the right side of the steering wheel. CRUISE activates it, CANCEL turns it off, RES+ increases speed, and SET- decreases speed. Below is more information about cruise control: 1. Cruise control is used to maintain a constant vehicle speed. Once set, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, which continuously adjusts fuel delivery based on road conditions and driving resistance to maintain the set speed without throttle input, reducing driver fatigue and unnecessary speed fluctuations while improving fuel efficiency. 2. In case of cruise control malfunction while driving, you can shift to neutral, turn off the engine, apply brakes, or use the handbrake. If shifting to neutral doesn't work, try turning off the engine. For key-start vehicles, turning off just one position won't disable power steering or brake assist.
As an experienced Elantra driver for several years, the cruise control buttons are conveniently located on the right side of the steering wheel. The SET button is used to set the current speed as the cruising speed, the RES button can resume the previously set speed, and the CANCEL button directly deactivates the cruise control. When driving, you must ensure your speed reaches at least 40 km/h before activating cruise control. This feature is particularly useful for highway or straight-road driving, making long-distance trips easier and reducing fatigue. I've driven many highways myself—once the speed is set, my right foot gets a break, saving fuel and increasing comfort. However, avoid using it in congested areas as it's easy to overlook road conditions. Operation is simple: accelerate to your target speed, press SET to maintain it automatically, use RES to restart cruise control, and CANCEL or lightly tap the brakes to exit. Remember, the button placement is well-designed for easy access without taking your hands off the wheel—safety first. Regularly check your braking system to ensure proper functionality and avoid accidents caused by distraction.
