- Cruise control was originally only found on high-end luxury cars, but now even the smallest cars often have it fitted as standard. If you have never used cruise control before then the controls might look confusing, but once mastered it is a useful system that will allow us to stay relaxed when driving long distances. In this video we will show how and when to use cruise control, so you can take advantage of this useful system.

I have been driving for 25 years and I never used cruise control, now I am learning how to use it. lol
Same here minus the 25 years lol
me too lol better late than never
I never used mine
better drive the old way sir. youre much more alert.
And here i am crying for not having Cruse control on a audi A4 2008. And so many older cars have it !
hello guys, since we started to use cruise control it really makes it easier and less tired on road trips.
A big thank you for whoever found it ✍🏿👏🏿💯
Great to hear!
Passed my test last Thursday and this channel has definitely helped me a lot!
Woooo! Well done 🚙😃
Thank you for this video this helps greatly on long straight trips. Always be alert as you would be in standard when using Cruise Control.
Most thorough explanation of cruise control I could find!
I'm glad I've found this, you've explained it properly, thank you.
Thanks. It’s great to see it explained in detail clearly. Especially useful for long distance motorway driving provided you don’t hog the middle lane or do 100 in the right lane
Thankyou for doing this video x. Just bought a new fiesta and had no idea how to use the cruise control
Very well explained! Thanks.
I’ve never known what cruise control was for? And attempted to use it randomly throughout the years but never saw of felt the difference so I shall definitely give this a go when I’m on my next road trip.
easy to understand..THANK YOUU SO MUCHHHHHHH
This channel is amazing!
Thanks for a very good introduction. Simple, clear and illustrated.
Great video thanks
Lovely video, very informative
This video was very helpful thanks
Very Informative.
thanks a lot for this insights
Thanks For This Review
My car has cruise control it is a good thing to have on the car
very Educative!!
Excellent educational video
Would like to say I find the limiter just as relaxing; sometimes use Cruise but rarely as I find as soon as you start using it the motorway will either slow down or the limit will change (on the overhead gantries) and so you need to either reset it or brake. Prefer the limiter. Can keep your foot on the gas to the floor and not worry about it.
Well done on 81k subs i knew youd work im continueing that signs video will be helpful on your next one like i said overall im ok just little things like dont use gears to early doing msm and i talk out on lessons help .
If driving on highway to advoid getting a ticket set cruise control to to like 3 miles less than the speed limit ( for example if speed limit is 55 set cruise control to like 52 to 53 mph and you will not get pulled over for speeding ) good luck on using cruise control
Thank you it’s really good advice 😃
Very good
Thanks for explaining the system with a Focus. I've recently become an owner of a Focus and my steering wheel has the exact same button layout. Was the wondering what thoes buttons were. Not that I need cruise control in where I live but very informative. 👍🏻
This car is actually a Fiesta - but we’re glad the video helped. 👍🏼
Thank you
Very nice
Nice 👍
THANK YOU FOR A GOOD EXPLANATION.
IT IS POORLY DESCRIBED IN THE CAR HANDBOOK
Thanks first time having a car with cruise control from next week. Didn’t realise how easy it is by pressing the button when using the cruising speed you want I thought you had to adjust first manually not automatically.
We hope you enjoy your new car! 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thanks
Good sir
Can we use the hold feature and automatic electronic e brake during the practical driving test in the UK. Thank you in advance.
Yes, that’s fine to use on the test. 👍🏼
Is adaptive cruise control permitted to be used on the driving test?
Can cruise control be used when turning the vehicle? Or naa
A couple of minor comments. With it in use, it’s possible to have one’s foot just above the brakes from time to time, thus reducing the reaction time if need be, c.f. with having to move from one to another, without unwantedly slowing down. Only about 1/2 a second or so, but better than nothing at higher speeds. In a hybrid car, I find it useful on variable gradients to make best use of regenerative braking downhill without using the manual brake application - as long as the traction battery isn’t full! It’s a wee bit like using lower gears on falling gradients on manual gearbox cars. Your comment on average speed monitoring is good - it’s becoming more common on roads these days, especially in parts of south Wales.
In some cars (e.g. my Toyota Yaris), it’s possible to temporarily override the cruise setting using the accelerator when needed, then let it drift down to the set value (can also be reset to the higher value); I sometimes do this on motorway journeys.
In one of my older cars, which was a Honda Civic, it used numeric speed values for settings, so steps were more precise in metric units, rather than imperial, so I always used km/h for that car; it was more precise that way for minor adjustments. That model did not have an analogue speedometer display.
£&%$!n hell!!! :D
Could you please do a video about what to do when an emergency vehicle needs to get past. I failed my test today because I moved over to the left for an ambulance but accidentally went on the kerb
We would like to make a video about Emergency Vehicles, but since we can’t control when we see them it would be very difficult. Thanks for the idea though 👍🏼 Edit: This video gives some good advice - ruclips.net/video/btRHvQEIkcU/видео.html
Unlucky mate did u try again. How did u do
Which settings option you chose for gear displayed on the dashboard please...I watched most of your videos but can't find one about this. Thanks for any help
Some cars display the current gear, and some don’t. Check your cars manual to see if it is an option. 👍🏼
Your video on cruise control is very good. However you did not mention not to use the cruise control in the wet due to the increased risk of aquaplaning
I’m not sure that is correct, as cruise control won’t affect the grip from the tyres.
Thank you for this awesome presented video!
By miles away best in its category/CC
You guys still havent mentioned anything about where the gear lever stays or which gear is required to be on when the CC is activated...
And if its a manual gear box ,for the ones new to the CC system ,how the gear changing takes place automatically if the car has a manual gear box???
When using cruise control in a manual car we can use any gear, but we still have to change gear ourselves, and then ‘set’ the cruise again afterwards.
Thanks for getting back to me bit its still not clear
So just for example purposes:
6 gear manual box
I am in 4th gear at 50mph and I use the rocker to set my CC at 50mph,
after a wile I can do 70mph
still in my 4th gear ,I use the rocker on the steering wheel and pressing UP I speed up to 70mph which is a speed adequate for 5th or 6th gear
Do I change the gear myself or just by using the rocker I will speed up to 70mph and the car will change gear accordingly?
@@alincostache2750 no it's a manual car so you have to change the gear for the appropriate speed
I have been told by my driving instructor that I can book my driving test. Would I be able to go to the test centre without my instructor to take my driving test as it would be cheaper ?
Thanks
The driving test centre doesn’t provide the vehicle to take your test in - so if you’re not going to use your instructors car then you must find another to use. If you’re most used to driving your instructors car, then it’s worth paying to use it and give yourself the best chance of passing.
Still trying to figure out what to do with my right foot when not on the accelerator! Lol. Need somewhere to rest it like my left foot has 🤔
Now I know 😎👍
If the speed limit is say 70 mph on the moterway can I set it to 70 and be safe from speed cameras or should I set it to a lower speed ?
You’ll never be prosecuted for speeding if you are on or under the limit - but when driving in poor weather or heavy traffic we may need to reduce our speed of course 👍🏼
My Ford Fiesta 2019 (manual) doesn’t have the clock kinda of button on top of the lim button. But it has all the set, cancel button. Does that mean my car doesn’t have a cruise control?
It sounds like you have the speed limiter, but not cruise control.
Idk if you already figured it out. But the button is probably on the side of your indicator levers similar to mine. Just press that button and then it should show on the screen that the cruise control has been turned on
Wtf my car have this for 3 years now and i didn't know what it is. I was missing so much from not knowing this.
Hi, when using cruise control does the car apply brakes automatically ? And is it good for a car, can we use cruise control on roads with uphill and downhill ?
Normally, cruise control can only vary the amount of accelerator used, and can't use the car's brakes - so you might need to step in and brake the car whenever you need to drive down steep hills or slow down quickly. However, more advanced cars that have 'adaptive' cruise control will use the brakes when necessary.
It's fine to use the cruise control on gentle up and down hills, but when it gets steep you might be better off driving the car yourself.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you for the awnser .. 👍
Aren't the cancel and resume buttons redundant since the on/off button does the Same?
Not quite. If we press cancel, the car will remember the last speed we had set, so we can use resume to get the car to adjust it’s speed on its own. If we press off, it won’t remember the speed, and we will have to manually set our speed next time we need to cruise.
Greetings information sister
There are no cruise control in many cars, but these cars separately use cruise control in their car. Is it right or saver to do so?
Sorry, we don't understand your question.
Hello i have a question, I have Peugeot 207 and when i try to turn on cruise control it controls my music system instead. What's the reason and the solution?
No idea! Ask your local garage 👍🏼
Maybe Peugeot wants to adapt the music to the speed of the car? ;)
Sounds like something I would hate, It would feel like I am letting go of the steering wheel as I want to be in control at all times adn taking my foot off the accelerator is not something I would do.
its good to increase/decrease speed using cruise control ?
It’s fine to either use the + & - buttons to adjust our cruising speed, or if you prefer you can do it yourself with the foot pedals and the press SET again.
How do you know when a car is to close to you when you backing up?
It comes with experience. If you're not sure get out and have a look - but with practice you'll know how close you can safely get.
Ok thanks
Do you have a lesson that focuses on shoulder checks? Thanks!
We don't have a video just about that, but they are mentioned in these two;
Changing Lanes Safely: ruclips.net/video/eRTAxottBkY/видео.html
Pulling Away: ruclips.net/video/8MYUabKcjac/видео.html
Mine is Toyota progress the control is on my right how do I use it
Maybe have a look in your cars manual?
My cruise control is broken the speed just drops when it's on
that was good and the moral is "Don't use cruise control on Welsh roads"!!!!+
which city is it? Actually i like the wholething
We film our videos in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. 👍🏼
Can we have some video on automatic car
No problem - what would you like us to film?
AHH REMINDED ME OF MY BIMMER (BMW) CRUISING ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (PCH).
* on Forza 😉
@@AdvanceDrivingSchoolI played a UK game gta5
Can we turn on cruise control if we put our car in neutral
You can turn on the cruise control system, but you won't be able to 'set' a speed for it to keep to.
Please peugeot 508 cruise control????
We can't make a separate video for every different car, but most cruise control systems work in similar ways. To find out how yours works, just read the car's manual!
What does LIM stand for?
It’s a speed limiter system. You can set a maximum speed, which the car won’t exceed unless we apply full throttle.
Cruise control is best used on long drives.
WHY I JUST FOUND OUT THIS THRU TIKTOK?!?!
I just bought a Ford focus 2020 and l can't wait to for it to be delivered. I'm looking forward to using cruise control for the first time. I don't think it has adaptive cruise control on it though. 🤔
My right foot is an organic cruise control.
What does “lim” stand for?
Speed limiter. 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Oh, thank you! Also, does your vehicle have a lane keep assist?
Yes, it does. However it doesn’t work very well on this car so we switched it off.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Oh I see. However, I would still advise using it on long road trips, as it takes a HUGE amount of stress off of driving.
We use it in our other cars (Nissan Leafs), as it keeps the car nicely centred in the lane. However the Fiesta’s system is pretty hopeless, and will ‘pinball’ from one side of the lane to the other, zig-zagging along the road!
😱😮
Do you have to set cruise control before you set off because you day got use + to set speed , can,'t you just press cruise button what ever speed your doing when foot on accelerator
You can switch on the cruise control system at any time, then press SET to engage the speed you need to cruise at.
My first time trying to figure out cruise control literally gave me a panic attack hahaha
You didn't cover what the LIM button does
The LIM button turns the speed limiter on, but that is not part of the cruise control system so we left it out of this video.
20 years driving and I've never used cruise control
If your car has it give it a try!
I'm watching this and all I can think is "where's the brake???"
Why he uses his foot for the pedal normally we use only the foot of the not at all the foot 👟👞😕 ????
Sorry - we don't understand your question.
Sorry im french i do not speak good i english i meanth he uses his whole foot for the accelerator and the brake whereas normally have to use only the tip of the foot. you understand ?
Thanks for the reply! Either is fine - just do whatever is more comfortable :-)

Damm get some gas
BRI ISH
WTF is this driving on the left side?!
It’s better this way 😉
cruise control is only for fast roads
