How to add value on select tag with javascript

I am trying to add value to the text box of the drop down <select> tag in HTML with JavaScript. This is my code:

function disableTip() {
  document.getElementById('cars').value = 'Hello';
}
<label for="cars">Choose a car:</label>

<select name="cars" id="cars">
  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

<button onclick="disableTip()">Click me</button>

When i click the button the textbox becomes empty doesn't write "Hello". Any idea what is wrong with my code?

Thanks in advance.
