2 Answers
Activating cruise control: Briefly press the cruise control switch key to illuminate the white indicator light on the combination meter. Increase the vehicle speed to the cruising speed (above 40km/h), then briefly press the set/deceleration key. The corresponding white indicator light on the combination meter will turn green, indicating that the vehicle has entered cruise control mode. Additional details about cruise control are as follows: 1. Exiting cruise control: Depress the brake pedal, shift the gear lever to "N" position, briefly press the cruise control switch key, operate the electronic parking brake system button, or when the ESP system activates. 2. Resuming cruise control: When the vehicle speed is above 40km/h, briefly press the resume/acceleration key. The cruise control indicator light on the combination meter will change from white to green, and the vehicle speed will return to the previously set cruising speed. 3. Increasing cruising speed: Briefly press the resume/acceleration key to increase the speed by 1.6km/h per press; hold down the resume/acceleration key to continuously increase speed. Release the key to maintain the current speed. 4. Decreasing cruising speed: Briefly press the set/deceleration key to decrease the speed by 1.6km/h per press; hold down the set/deceleration key to continuously decrease speed. Release the key to maintain the lower speed.
I've been driving the Trumpchi GS3 for almost two years and frequently use its cruise control on highways, which is both fuel-efficient and convenient. First, accelerate to over 40 km/h to stabilize the car. Then press the CRUISE button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the system. Next, use the adjacent SET or + button to set the current speed as the cruising speed. To adjust speed, use the + or - buttons for fine-tuning. Canceling cruise control is simple—just lightly tap the brake to deactivate it, or press the cancel button to reset. This feature is especially useful for long trips, helping me stay focused on the road and avoid fatigue. However, remember not to use it in rainy or slippery conditions—safety is far more important than fuel savings. Regularly check the steering wheel buttons for responsiveness to avoid malfunctions affecting the system.
