What it means
This green indicator usually means cruise control is on or set to maintain a selected speed. Green is informational, but the symbol and whether it indicates standby or active control vary by manufacturer.
What the symbol looks like: A speedometer-shaped symbol or the words CRUISE indicate cruise control status.
Why it comes on
- Cruise control was switched on.
- A cruising speed was set.
- The system returned to standby after braking or another driver action.
What to do
- Check whether a speed is set before relying on the system.
- Keep control of the vehicle and watch traffic and road conditions.
- Brake or cancel cruise control when you need to slow down.
- Check the owner's manual for the vehicle's controls and indicator meanings.
Can I keep driving?
You can drive normally, but cruise control does not steer or respond to every hazard. Avoid using it where traffic, weather, or road conditions make a steady speed unsuitable.
Symbols and colours differ between makes and models. Your owner’s manual shows the exact lights of your car.
