How to activate cruise control on the Trumpchi GS3?

[Bella]

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.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the cruise control system of the Trumpchi GS3, which is quite user-friendly. When driving, first accelerate to at least 40 km/h, then press the cruise activation button on the steering wheel after stabilizing the speed. A prompt tone indicates standby mode activation. Next, use the set button to lock the target speed. If adjustments are needed, press the +/- buttons to fine-tune within a 1 km/h range. The key point is that the system relies on the electronic control unit, so ensure the battery and sensors are functioning properly to avoid malfunctions. I recommend activating it on open highways to avoid congestion, which can optimize fuel efficiency and reduce consumption by about 20%. Additionally, make it a habit to regularly clean dust from the button gaps to prevent sticking and potential failures.

As a new owner of the GAC GS3, I find the cruise control quite easy to use. When driving steadily around 40 km/h, press the cruise button on the upper right of the steering wheel—it will light up to indicate activation. Then use the adjacent set button to confirm your speed, adjusting it with the + or - buttons as needed. For safety, only use it on highways; a light tap on the brakes cancels it. Avoid activating it in cities or crowded areas to prevent potential issues. This feature makes long drives much easier, but I recommend beginners practice several times before relying on it.

From a car repair perspective, I've helped others address cruise control issues on the GAC GS3. Activation is straightforward: accelerate beyond 40 km/h, press the cruise switch to engage the system, then use the speed setting button to lock it in. A common fault is oxidized or unresponsive buttons, remedied by cleaning the contacts with alcohol wipes or replacing them at a shop. Another benefit is reduced foot fatigue, but avoid relying on it during curves or downhill as the system can't anticipate road conditions. I recommend checking the vehicle's electronic systems every six months to prevent failures from aging wiring. This approach ensures safe and efficient operation.
