To activate cruise control on the Reiz: 1. Press the button on top of the cruise control switch; 2. When the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h, pull down the cruise control lever for more than 2 seconds; 3. Release the accelerator and the lever. The Reiz is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4750mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. It is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 142 kW and maximum torque of 236 Nm. The Reiz features front-engine rear-wheel drive layout, with double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension.
Turning on the cruise control in the REIZ is actually quite simple. Having driven for ten years, I find the steps clear and straightforward. First, ensure your speed reaches at least 40 km/h, as the system won't activate at lower speeds. Then, locate the CRUISE button on the steering wheel and press it once—the indicator light will illuminate to confirm the system is on. Next, accelerate to your desired speed (I often set it to 80 or 100 km/h on highways) and maintain steady pressure. Press the SET or minus (-) button to lock the current speed, allowing the car to maintain it automatically without constant throttle input. To adjust, use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons on the steering wheel, which typically change speed by 2-3 km/h per press. Canceling is effortless: a light brake tap or pressing the CANCEL button deactivates the system. I recommend using it primarily on straight roads with good conditions, avoiding urban areas or sharp curves where quick reactions may be needed. Regularly check the vehicle’s electrical system to ensure sensors function properly and prevent accidental activation. For long drives, this feature genuinely reduces fatigue.
