4 Answers
The steps to activate the cruise control on the Wildlander are: 1. Press SET to enter the adaptive cruise mode and set the speed; 2. Press the SET button again to enter the adaptive cruise mode. Taking the Wildlander 2020 2.0L CVT Two-Wheel Drive Leading Edition as an example, this vehicle is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4665mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1680mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 10 gears), delivering a maximum power of 126kw, a maximum torque of 209nm, and a maximum horsepower of 171ps. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and an E-type multi-link independent suspension at the rear, featuring a unibody structure.
I enjoy using the cruise control on my Wildlander for long-distance driving, as it's fuel-efficient and relaxing. The activation process is actually quite simple: first, reach a steady speed, like 60 km/h on the highway, then press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel to activate the system. Next, press the SET button to lock in the current speed, and the screen will display the cruise status. To adjust speed, use the adjacent RES or COAST buttons for fine-tuning. Remember, the speed shouldn't be too low, or the system might not activate. This feature helps relieve foot fatigue and reduces the risk of tired driving, but keep your eyes on the road—don't rely on it too much. Also, it's safer to manually slow down when going downhill or turning.
As a driving enthusiast, I find the cruise control operation on the Wildlander quite user-friendly. Before activating, ensure your speed meets the requirement, typically above 40 km/h. Then press the CRUISE-labeled switch on the left side of the steering wheel to enable the function. Hitting the SET button locks the current speed, indicated by a flashing dashboard prompt. For speed adjustments, the RES button resumes the previous setting, while COAST allows deceleration. It's great for highway driving to prevent foot fatigue from prolonged pedal use and eliminates constant throttle adjustments. However, avoid using it in rain or snow as slippery roads may cause skidding. Regularly checking button responsiveness is crucial.
I tried the cruise control on the Wildlander, and the operation is quite intuitive. First, accelerate the car to the target speed, say around 50 km/h. Then, locate the CRUISE button on the steering wheel control panel, press it to activate, and tap the SET button to lock the speed. An indicator light on the screen will illuminate to show the system is active. Using it during my daily commute helps maintain a steady pace, saving fuel without extra effort. Just remember to check if the buttons are functioning properly before activation to avoid malfunctions caused by misoperation.
