The cruise control, regardless of vehicle, work essentially the same. These have three main buttons: on/off switch, set & resume. The set button also works as the deceleration button, and the resume button works as the acceleration button.

When setting the speed, bring the vehicle to the desired speed with the throttle – ensure that the cruise control is on, and hit the set button. That will engage the cruise control.

On most vehicles, there is a light on the dash that will indicate that the cruise control is engaged. If you want the vehicle to slow, simply hold the set button and the vehicle will decelerate so long as you hold the button. If you want the vehicle to accelerate, hold the resume button. So long as you hold the button, the vehicle will accelerate.

If you want the vehicle to accelerate 2 kilometres and hour or 2 miles an hour depending on country, simply click the resume button 2 times. If you want the vehicle to decelerate 5 kilometres an hour or 5 miles per hour, simply click the button 5 times.

Cruise control will improve fuel economy, make you more relaxed over longer trips, and reduce distracted driving.

Good luck on your road test.
