As an owner of the Trumpchi GM8, it took me some time to learn the cruise control when I first got the car, but the operation is smooth once you get the hang of it. First, start the engine and get on the road, locate the cruise control button on the steering wheel, and press it gently to activate the system. Then, accelerate to your desired stable speed, say around 80 km/h on the highway, and press the 'set' button to lock it in. The system will take over the throttle and maintain the speed automatically. If you need minor adjustments on the road, use the plus or minus buttons to increase or decrease the speed in increments. Canceling is simple too—just hit the brakes or press the 'cancel' button to exit the system. This feature is especially handy for long highway drives, reducing foot fatigue, but I’d remind beginners not to use it in heavy traffic and to stay alert. Practice in open areas first, and with time, you’ll find it easy to handle.
