Explanation On What You Need To Know About The Cruise Control Of Your Car by autojosh: 6:04pm On Aug 30, 2018 |
[img]https:///a/img924/3005/vou96N.jpg[/img] Some of us are ignorant of the cruise control feature found in most modern cars. I am going to make the explanation of cruise control as simple as possible. The cruise control enables your car travel at a particular speed you set it to even when you take off your leg from the accelerator (throttle). As said earlier, myriads of people are ignorant of this cruise control feature more of trying it out. The primary aim is to make long journeys more comfortable and it will also help you save money on fuel. This cruise control is not what you can use when you’re in a congested road where you have to stop and start at all times; steady speed is vital. It can only be used when you’re driving above 25 mph. It won’t work for any speed below that. The above point will point fingers to just driving on highway and not streets filled with traffic lights. The main controls are usually located in the steering wheel or a column stalk behind the steering wheel. The main controls are ‘Set’, ‘Cancel’, ‘Resume’ and ‘On/Off’. You can usually adjust the programmed speed up or down using the same buttons – check your owner’s manual for specific instructions for your car. To initiate cruise control for your car, you need to accelerate to the desired speed over 25 mph – then press ‘Set’. Your car will now maintain its current speed without the need to keep your foot on the accelerator. The procedure for activating the cruise control may vary from one car to another Turning off cruise control is as simple as applying the brake, pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘On/Off’ buttons or pushing the clutch pedal in a manual car. Below are some of the advantages of using cruise control 1. It improves your driving comfort 2. It gives you better control over the speed you ply 3. It improve the fuel consumption of your car Ensure you read your car’s user manual for specific details on how to operate your vehicle’s cruise control feature. Have you been using the cruise control feature in your car? Tell us in the comment section. https://autojosh.com/detailed-explanation-need-know-cruise-control-car/ 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Well my own native thought on cruise control is having the vehicle filled with sensor and is self driven not all the stated above. I know IoT has a future kindly check my signature |

It's useless for inner city drive in Lagos where you have to apply brakes everywhere from time to time. If not a highway drive/journey, just forget about using it. |

Leun:Cruise control has nothing to do with IoT. The former has been around for almost two decades in automatic cars, IoT is relatively new and is still being developed and researched on in the auto industry. As is, IoT on cars still has a long way to go to penetrate many markets where internet access is still in its infancy. Cruise control doesn't need all that. You probably have it in your car and may have not just used it before. Try it. It's fun when you're on a free road. 3 Likes |

Thank you for the information. It has just been confirmed that automobile cruise control functions can not be used in naija; as in it wasn't designed for nigeria. We just have to use other functionalities because within every one mile or one kilometer, is a pot hole or uneven road or no road or traffic or toll gate. Thanks again, good information. 2 Likes |
