The method to activate cruise control on CS55 is: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h, press the ON button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate it; 2. Use the RES and SET buttons to fine-tune the speed for acceleration or deceleration; 3. Press the brake pedal or the OFF button on the left side of the steering wheel to deactivate it. Taking the 2019 Changan CS55 as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1690mm in height, a wheelbase of 2650mm, a minimum ground clearance of 190mm, a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, and a curb weight of 1460kg.

I've been driving the CS55 for two years, and the cruise control is particularly practical. After starting the car, first press the CRUISE button with the speed icon on the right side of the steering wheel, which will illuminate a white cruise indicator on the dashboard. Once the speed reaches above 40km/h, press the SET/- button to lock the current speed. To increase or decrease the speed, press RES/+ or SET/-, adjusting by 5km/h with each press. Remember to press CANCEL to pause in heavy traffic or on winding roads, and press the CRUISE button again to turn it off completely when not in use. Note that the cruise control is only active when the green indicator on the dashboard is lit, and it's best not to use this function in rainy weather. I always use cruise control on highways—it makes driving much easier on my right foot.

I'm used to using cruise control on the highway, and the operation is quite simple. First, make sure the speed exceeds 40km/h, then press the cruise button on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the system, and an indicator light will appear on the dashboard. At this point, press the SET button to lock the current speed. To fine-tune the speed, use the up and down arrows, and holding them down allows for continuous speed adjustment. To temporarily cancel, gently press the brake, and press the RES button to resume. To completely turn it off, press the cruise button again. Personally, I recommend manually controlling the speed when going downhill to avoid the engine revving excessively. Wiping the steering wheel buttons weekly prevents malfunctions—my car has had no issues in three years.

As someone who frequently drives long distances, cruise control is my driving lifesaver. Activating it involves three steps: press the cruise start button after exceeding 40 km/h → press the SET button when the white light illuminates → the system activates once the green light turns on. Adjust speed using the RES and SET buttons, with each press changing it by 2 km/h. Important note: The system won't automatically brake if the car ahead suddenly slows down; you must manually brake to deactivate it. I never use cruise control during heavy rain—it's too dangerous when tires lose traction. Beginners should practice at least ten times on empty roads before trying it on highways.

The cruise control of the CS55 is located on the right side of the steering wheel. When driving on the highway, reach your desired speed and press the main switch with the speedometer icon using your thumb. You'll see a white light illuminate on the instrument panel. Then press the SET button to lock the speed, and the light will turn green to indicate it's engaged. The speed adjustment buttons are located below the switch—press them to adjust the speed by 1 km/h per click. To deactivate, press the CANCEL button or step on the brake. To completely turn it off, press the main switch again. I’ve modified my steering wheel, but the original button position is centered on the right side—just feel for the raised tactile bump.

I use the cruise control function every week for highway driving. Before activating, ensure the speed exceeds 40km/h, then press the CRUISE button on the right side of the steering wheel (marked with CRUISE), and a white cruise icon will appear on the dashboard. Immediately press the SET button to lock the current speed. Adjust the speed using the SET/- and RES/+ buttons, with each press changing the speed by ±1km/h. To completely exit the cruise control, press and hold the cruise button for two seconds. Important reminder: If the system malfunctions, a yellow warning light will flash on the dashboard, requiring an engine restart. I've noticed that using it continuously for over three hours can cause ankle stiffness, so I recommend taking a ten-minute break every two hours.
