How to operate the cruise control on the Trumpchi M8?
2 Answers
Press the cruise control switch button to activate the cruise control standby mode. After accelerating to the desired speed, push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed, and the cruise control will start. To accelerate, push the control lever upward or step on the accelerator. To cancel the cruise control, lift the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, step on the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake. After setting the desired speed by the driver, the vehicle will automatically maintain the speed without the need to step on the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed.
When going on a long-distance self-drive trip with the Trumpchi M8, using the cruise control makes it much more worry-free, and the operation is quite simple. When your speed reaches above 40 km/h, for example, when stabilized on the highway, first press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system; then accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, and press the SET button to confirm the setting. There are also '+' and '-' buttons on the steering wheel—press '+' to increase speed and '-' to decrease speed for fine-tuning. To cancel, simply step on the brake or press the CANCEL button; paused and want to resume the original speed? Just press the RES button to get it done. I often use it for long trips, feeling less foot fatigue and lower fuel consumption. Here’s a tip: avoid using it in rainy, foggy weather or on roads with many curves, and stay focused. When trying it for the first time, practice a few times on an open road—the system will remember the settings for easier use next time. The Trumpchi M8’s cruise control responds quickly, and it’s even smarter when paired with adaptive cruise, but it’s perfectly functional on the standard version too. Regularly check if the buttons are responsive to avoid dust buildup.
