Check your car’s operating manual if you are unable to find the cruise control switches.
Many cars have additional buttons to increase or decrease speed (marked by a +/-) when using cruise control.
For some car models, cruise control will not operate below a certain speed, such as 40 miles (64 km) per hour.
To stop cruise control briefly (such as when a car in front of you brakes), just press the brake as you normally would. If you are driving a manual, you can also disengage cruise control by pressing the clutch. If you are completely done using cruise control, you can press the “OFF” or “ON/OFF” switch. If your car has a cruise control “CANCEL” switch, you can also press that to stop it.
If your car has a +/- button for cruise control, press this when you want to raise or lower your car’s speed.
Using cruise control on busy streets can also be dangerous. Since you yourself are not in complete control of your car, you may be paying less attention. You might brake or react to other cars more slowly than normal, increasing the chance of an accident.
