How to activate the cruise control in the Wildlander?
2 Answers
To start the speed cruise control system, slide the switch to the "ON" position to activate the speed control system. After the system is activated, when the vehicle reaches the desired speed, press the "SET" button once to maintain the vehicle at that speed. To decrease the speed, press the "SET" button, which will reduce the speed by 1.5 km/h; if you hold the button, the vehicle will continue to slow down, and once released, the current speed will be stored in the memory. Below are the functions and types of cruise control: 1. The cruise control system (CRUISE-CONTROL-SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as the speed cruise control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. Its function is to automatically maintain the vehicle speed as required by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. 2. Using this device, after long drives on highways, the driver no longer needs to control the accelerator pedal, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel. 3. The latest electronic throttle cruise control operates more intelligently and precisely by controlling the output signal of the electronic throttle sensor through the cruise control system, adjusting the throttle opening size to achieve vehicle speed control.
As a new driver who just bought a Wilander, activating cruise control is quite simple. First, start your car and get on the road. When your speed exceeds 30 km/h, locate the cruise control button on the right side of the steering wheel—usually labeled 'ON/OFF' or with an arrow icon—and press it to illuminate, indicating the system is activated. Then, accelerate to your desired speed, such as around 60 km/h on the highway, and press the 'SET' button to lock in that speed. You can later fine-tune it using the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust speed. I've tried it a few times and found it especially fuel-efficient on long drives while also giving your right foot a break. However, avoid using it in heavy traffic or sharp curves, as it can be risky. Practice a few times when first operating it, and once you're comfortable, you can safely enjoy the feature.
