Moving the cruise control on/off buttons off the steering wheel doesn't seem like the worst decision -- that's something that I usually press once per drive, and never touch it again, so in the interest of reducing the number of buttons on the steering wheel, putting the buttons elsewhere makes some sense. The center console seems like an unusual place to put it, the dashboard itself would seem to be a better place.
Though I don't understand how he hits it accidentally with his elbow, the only way I could hit a button on the center console would be if I lean down and do it intentionally. In the photo with his hand on the shifter, his elbow is on the armrest and couldn't touch the red buttons accidentally
- amatecha 7y agoFor highway driving, having all the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel is a godsend. Guess it depends on the driver's usage of the car, but I'm a big fan of not having to fully take my hands of the wheel to enable/disable CC or alter the cruising speed/etc. :)
- Johnny555 7y agoMy cruise control has a "cancel" button on the steering wheel (which is not the same as "off"), but almost all the time, I just tap the brake pedal to disable it since I generally want to disable it when I want to slow down. As far as I can tell from his pictures, the Renault has only the main on/off button on the center console, and the rest of the cruise buttons are on the steering wheel. EDIT: I found the owners manual, and indeed the center console has only the main on/off button, the steering wheel has the speed up/down (+/-), Resume (R), Cancel (O) buttons. https://www.renaultusa.com/News/DriversManuals/talisman.pdf https://www.renaultusa.com/News/DriversManuals/talisman.pdf
