About Cruise Control Switchs

A motor vehicle’s cruise control function can help to make longer drives more comfortable and can even reduce fuel consumption and costs.  It also enables the driver to maintain legal speeds and avoid an expensive fine – or worse.  Cruise control is most suitable for those who are going to be driving at a steady cruising speed without constantly stopping and starting. It is therefore ideal for motorway driving.

Different cars have a different layout for their cruise control system but the part of the system that activates it, the Volvocruise control switch, is normally found  either on the steering wheel or one of the steering column control stalks.

There are several functions that the Volvocruise control switch operates. The principal controls are to set the cruise control, cancel it, resume it and switch it on or off.

To start the cruise control involves accelerating to the chosen speed and, when it is reached, pressing the “set” button on the Volvocruise control switch. The car will then keep to the speed that the driver has chosen without having to touch the accelerator.

To turn off the cruise control requires either the application of the brake or pressing the “Cancel” or “On/Off” buttons on the Volvocruise control switch. In most vehicles, there is a “Resume” button on the Volvocruise control switch, which will allow the driver to return to the previously set speed without re-programming the system.

Volvo trivia

• Volvo is a Latin word that means 'I spin,' although some later translations change the meaning slightly to 'I roll.'
• A Volvo is always good for mileage, but the holder of the world record for best mileage is the 1966 Volvo 1800S, which clocked three million miles in 2013. Owner Irvin Gordon had bought the car in 1966.
• Volvo is Swedish and was founded in 1924 by two brothers who designed and built the ÖV 4 because they realised that other cars couldn't cope with Sweden's harsh weather. The car was given the name 'Jakob' and had both a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine and a three-speed manual gearbox.
• Volvo is part of the prestigious Premier Automotive Group, which also includes Aston Martin, Land Rover, and Jaguar.
• There's a theatre in Ireland where the patrons all sit in seats from the Volvo S80 luxury saloon. A local Volvo dealer saw the seats being used at the launch of the S80 and asked Volvo if he could have some for his local theatre.
