How To Use Cruise Control For Hyundai Cars

One of the most helpful features contemporary cars come with nowadays is cruise control, which is also known as autocruise, speed control, cruise command, and tempomat. To help you take advantage of your car's cruise control features, we're here to offer you a detailed tutorial on how to use cruise control for Hyundai cars so that you can try it for yourself.

What is Cruise Control in Hyundai Cars?

Cruise control is a system that adjusts the throttle of your car automatically, which serves to regulate the speed of your vehicle. Through the use of this servomechanism, drivers using cruise control can allow their cars to stay at a constant speed of their choosing. While cruise control has been around as an automobile feature since the early 1900s, auto manufacturers such as Hyundai have steadily and continuously been improving upon the original concept to achieve the cruise control system we know and love today.

Aside from the standard cruise control system, Hyundai drivers also love using Smart Cruise Control(SCC), also known as adaptive or dynamic cruise control. Most modern cars come with this smart system, which is similar to conventional cruise control except that it utilizes the vehicle's front-mounted sensors to help the driver stay a safe and maintainable distance from the driver ahead of them. Thus, if the driver in front of you slows down, adaptive cruise control helps you to control the speed of your car in reaction to this by automatically triggering the engine brake, slowing down your pace as well. If the car ahead accelerates or moves to another lane, your car's adaptive cruise control will then bring your car back to its preset speed.

Using Cruise Control for Your Hyundai Car

Smart Cruise Control can be found on most of the latest Hyundai vehicles, helping them to automatically keep a preselected distance from vehicles in their lane. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use cruise control for your Hyundai car:

  • Press the cruise control button located on your steering wheel.
  • Accelerate to the speed that you wish to maintain and press the "Resume" or "Set Speed" button down to set your desired speed.
  • You can increase or reduce the speed using the "Up" or "Down" buttons.
  • You can also cancel cruise control by pressing the "Cancel" button.

Cruise Control Tips

Cruise control can be confusing and even intimidating to use for the first time. With these cruise control tips, you can take advantage of your Hyundai car's cruise control system like a pro!

  • Even with cruise control on, avoid letting go of the steering wheel.
  • Avoid sitting on the leftmost lane while cruise control is on.
