How to Operate Cruise Control?

Cruise control operation method is as follows: 1. Activate cruise control: Press the control switch to activate cruise control standby mode, accelerate to the desired speed, then push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed. 2. Cancel cruise control: You can pull the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, press the accelerator pedal, or gently tap the brake. The cruise control buttons are located on the steering wheel. Here are the specific introductions: 1. "RES+" button: (Press once briefly) Directly use the last used cruising speed. (Press multiple times briefly) When already in cruise mode, each additional press increases the cruising speed by 2 km/h. 2. "SET—" button: (Press once briefly) Set the current speed as the cruising speed. (Press multiple times briefly) When already in cruise mode, each additional press decreases the cruising speed by 2 km/h. 3. Button with a large cross inside a dashboard icon: Cancel cruise (does not clear the set speed memory; you can directly press RES+ next time to recall the set speed). 4. Button with only a single line inside a dashboard icon: Turn on/off cruise (will clear the set speed memory).
Activating cruise control is actually quite simple. I tried it once when driving my friend's car on the highway. First, accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, then find and press the button with a dashboard icon on the steering wheel. A small green light will illuminate on the dashboard. Next, press the SET button to lock the speed, and you can release the accelerator. To increase or decrease speed, simply press the +/- buttons. Stepping on the brake will automatically pause the cruise control. However, be cautious: it's best not to use it in rainy conditions or on winding roads—safety comes first. Also, operations may vary between different car models, so it's wise to check the manual before hitting the road or have a car-savvy friend walk you through it.
I love using the cruise control function when driving on highways, and the operation is divided into three steps. First, ensure the speed exceeds 40 km/h and press the cruise switch button to activate the system. Second, accelerate to the desired speed by pressing the accelerator, then press the SET button to save the current speed. Finally, use the +/- buttons to fine-tune the speed, with each press changing it by 1-2 km/h. Remember to press the brake to deactivate it in tunnels or construction zones, and press the RES button to resume. A small tip is to manually add a bit of throttle when going uphill, otherwise the system will automatically reduce speed—after all, this is just an assisted driving feature and cannot fully replace human operation.
