How to Activate Cruise Control in the Magotan?

[McMargaret]

Here are the steps to activate cruise control in the Magotan: 1. Push the control lever all the way toward the driver ("ResUME" position). 2. The current speed will be stored, and cruise control will be activated. Additional information: 1. While in cruise control, pushing the lever upward in the "SPEED+" direction once will increase the cruise speed by 10 km/h. If the lever is continuously pushed in this direction, the cruise speed will keep increasing. Releasing the lever will store the current speed as the cruise speed. Alternatively, while in cruise control, you can also accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal, but the speed will gradually return to the originally set cruise speed after releasing the pedal. 2. While in cruise control, pushing the lever downward in the "SPEED-" direction once will decrease the cruise speed by 10 km/h. If the lever is continuously pushed in this direction, the cruise speed will keep decreasing. Releasing the lever will store the current speed as the cruise speed. If you press the brake pedal while in cruise control, the current cruise state will be canceled.

In my years of driving the Magotan, I've found the cruise control to be quite convenient and safe. First, you need to be on the road with a speed of at least 30 km/h, usually activating it outside small towns or at highway entrances. There's a dedicated button on the steering wheel, typically on the left side, marked with a small arrow or cruise icon—press it gently to activate, and a small light on the dashboard will remind you. Then, accelerate to your desired cruising speed, like setting it to 100 km/h on the highway, and press the set button to lock it in. To decelerate or adjust speed, use the +/- buttons, and hitting the brakes will immediately pause the function. Personally, I love using it on long road trips as it helps reduce fatigue, but always remember to turn it off in complex traffic situations—don’t rely on it too much, as safety should always come first. Regularly checking the car’s system and button responsiveness is also a good habit.

Honestly, I find the cruise control in my Magotan super practical. Once you reach speed, press the cruise button on the left side of the steering wheel – the light indicates activation. Accelerate to your desired speed and press the set button to lock it in. Adjust speed with the +/- buttons, and braking cancels it anytime. On highways, it saves me fuel and effort – I often cruise while enjoying music on trips. Just keep the buttons clean (dirt affects responsiveness) – I wipe the wheel controls during routine maintenance.

Having driven for many years, I find the cruise control on the Magotan easy to operate. Once the desired speed is reached while driving, simply press the button on the steering wheel to activate it. After setting the speed, press the set button to lock it in. To deactivate, just step on the brake. Regular maintenance of the buttons helps prevent malfunctions.
