How to turn on cruise control on acura tl?
Cruise control is a convenient feature that allows you to maintain a constant speed while driving, reducing the need to constantly adjust the accelerator pedal. If your Acura TL is equipped with cruise control, here's how you can turn it on and use it effectively.
Locating the Cruise Control Buttons
The cruise control buttons on an Acura TL are typically located on the steering wheel or the turn signal stalk. Look for buttons or switches labeled "CRUISE" or with the cruise control symbol (usually a speedometer with an arrow).
Activating Cruise Control
- Make sure your vehicle is traveling at a speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h).
- Press the "CRUISE" button or switch to turn on the cruise control system. The cruise control indicator light on the dashboard should illuminate, indicating that the system is active.
- Adjust your speed to the desired cruising speed by pressing the "SET/COAST" button or switch. The vehicle will now maintain that speed without you having to press the accelerator pedal.
Once the cruise control is activated, you can use the following buttons or switches to control the system:
- RESUME/ACCEL: Increases the vehicle's speed to the previously set cruising speed.
- CANCEL: Deactivates the cruise control system without erasing the set speed from memory.
- CRUISE: Turns the cruise control system on or off.
Remember, it's important to always keep your hands on the steering wheel and be prepared to take over control of the vehicle if necessary, such as when driving in heavy traffic or on winding roads.
Deactivating Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control system, you can either press the "CANCEL" button or switch, or simply apply the brakes. This will disengage the cruise control without erasing the set speed from memory, allowing you to resume the set speed later if desired.
By following these steps, you can easily turn on and use the cruise control feature on your Acura TL, making long drives more comfortable and efficient.
