Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to managing cruise control settings. A cruise control indicator is displayed at a location that corresponds to a cruise control speed concurrently with a textual indication of the cruise control speed. In response to receiving input, the textual indication ceases to be displayed after a non-zero duration while the cruise control indicator continues to be displayed.
