How to Set the Cruise Control on the Equinox?
2 Answers
The method to set the cruise control on the Equinox is: 1. Locate the switch on the left side of the steering wheel, press the switch when the speed is above 40 km/h, and the system will start working; 2. Push up to accelerate and push down to decelerate. After applying the brakes and releasing them, the speed will return to the set value. Taking the 2021 Equinox as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of 4646mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1684mm in height, a wheelbase of 2725mm, a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters, and a curb weight of 1535kg. The 2021 Equinox is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169 PS, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a maximum power of 124 kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Every time I set the cruise control on my Equinox, I find it super convenient. First, start the car and drive at a suitable speed—generally at least 40 km/h or more on the highway, but don’t try it in the city. Then, press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel, and when the indicator light turns on, it means the system is activated. Continue accelerating to your desired cruising speed, say 80 km/h, then quickly tap the SET button to lock the speed. Later, you can use RES to resume or CANCEL to deactivate it, and you can also adjust the speed slightly with the +/- buttons. I often use this feature on long trips to save effort and fuel, but remember not to relax when there’s traffic—always keep an eye on the brakes. The Equinox’s design is very user-friendly, and the button placement is easy to find, usually on the right side of the steering wheel. Give it a try, and you’ll find driving much more relaxed.
