Does cruise control use brakes?
Cruise control primarily maintains a vehicle's speed by adjusting the throttle, not by using the brakes. However, if the vehicle begins to go downhill and exceeds the set speed, some advanced adaptive cruise control systems may use the brakes to slow down and maintain the desired speed. Standard cruise control does not engage the brakes; it relies on the engine's power to control speed.
