How to Activate Cruise Control on the Roewe i5?

[JudeLee]

Here are the steps to activate cruise control on the Roewe i5: 1. Press the power button to turn on the system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. 2. Accelerate to the desired speed, then press the SET button. You can now release the accelerator pedal with your right foot, and the speed will be maintained at the current level. 3. You can fine-tune the speed using the RES+ and SET- buttons. Important precautions for using cruise control: 1. Do not use the speed control system on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions (e.g., slippery surfaces, loose gravel, or roads after heavy rain). 2. Once the system is activated and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, never shift the gear lever into neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage. 3. If the set cruising speed is too high compared to the current traffic conditions, do not resume the set speed.

Using the cruise control on the Roewe i5 is quite straightforward. As someone who has been driving for several years, I usually activate the system by pressing the cruise button on the left side of the steering wheel once the speed exceeds 40 km/h on the highway. Then, I adjust the speed to my desired level using the up and down arrows. With cruise control engaged, there's no need to keep pressing the accelerator, making long-distance drives much more comfortable and relaxing. Canceling it is also convenient—either by pressing the brake or the cancel button on the steering wheel. Just remember to use it on less crowded roads, avoiding curves or congested areas—safety first. Once, I used cruise control for two hours during a countryside trip, and my legs didn’t feel sore at all, but I still had to stay focused and avoid distractions. This feature is practical and great for reducing driver fatigue.

I'm quite passionate about automotive technology, and the process of activating the cruise control on the Roewe i5 is very intuitive. Once the vehicle speed reaches 40km/h, locate the cruise control switch on the inner side of the steering wheel and press it to activate. Then, use the speed adjustment buttons (like the plus/minus keys) to set the desired speed. After the system is engaged, the car will automatically maintain the set speed, reducing driving fatigue. There are multiple ways to exit cruise control: either by pressing the brake pedal to automatically deactivate or using the cancel button. During my actual driving tests, I made sure to monitor the instrument cluster while setting the speed to ensure accuracy and avoid speeding. Roewe's design ensures smooth operation, and when combined with the car's internet connectivity, it can also display prompt messages, enhancing the overall experience. It's reliable to use, but don't over-rely on it—manual control is safer in complex road conditions.

I bought the car not long ago and quickly got the hang of the Roewe i5's cruise control. When the speed exceeds 40, just press a button on the steering wheel to activate cruise control, then use the '+' key to adjust the speed to your desired number. Not having to press the accelerator makes driving much easier, especially on highways where it reduces fatigue. To turn it off, just step on the brake and it will automatically stop. Simple and practical, I often use this feature on my commute to work.
