How to Activate Cruise Control on the GM8?
2 Answers
First press the activation switch, accelerate to your desired cruising speed, then press the minus switch to engage. To adjust speed during cruise, simply use the plus/minus switches. To resume cruise control after braking, press the plus switch. Here's an introduction to cruise control operation: 1. Activating cruise control: Press CRUISE to enable the function (a white cruise indicator will illuminate on the dashboard). When reaching your desired speed (above 40km/h), press SET (minus key) to lock the speed (indicator turns green). Release the accelerator to maintain set speed. 2. Reducing cruise speed: While engaged, each press of SET decreases speed by 1.6km/h. Holding SET continuously reduces speed. 3. Increasing cruise speed: While engaged, each press of RES increases speed by 1.6km/h. Holding RES continuously accelerates.
When I first started driving, I explored the cruise control on the GM8, and its operation steps are quite straightforward. First, you need to get the car moving and stabilize the speed above 40 km/h, preferably on a highway or an open road. There's a cruise control button on the steering wheel, usually located on the left side or integrated into the multifunction buttons. Press the ON or CRUISE button to activate the system. A light will indicate it's activated. Then, drive to your desired speed, say 60 km/h, and quickly press the SET button to lock it in. At this point, the car will automatically maintain the speed without needing to press the accelerator. If you want to adjust the speed while driving, use the '+' or '-' buttons to fine-tune it up or down. In case of a temporary situation, just tap the brake or press the CANCEL button to pause; to resume cruise control, simply press the RES button. Remember, don't use it in heavy traffic or bad weather, stay attentive, and ensure safe driving. After using it a few times, you'll get the hang of it—it's saved me a lot of effort on long trips.
