2 Answers
Instructions for using cruise control: 1. Press the power button to activate the system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate; 2. Accelerate to above 40 km/h, then press the SET button—at this point, you can release your right foot from the accelerator pedal, and the speed will be set at the current rate; 3. Press the RES (+) button to increase speed from the current setting, or press the SET (-) button to decrease speed from the current setting; 4. There are three ways to deactivate cruise control: stepping on the brake pedal, pressing the CANCEL button, or pressing the power button; 5. If cruise control is canceled by stepping on the brake or pressing the cancel button, you can press the RES button to resume the previously set cruise control speed.
Cruise control is a feature I frequently use while driving, especially on highways where it saves a lot of hassle. First, locate the cruise button on the steering wheel and press it to activate the system. When the system light turns on, it means it's ready. Then, accelerate to your desired speed, say maintaining 100 km/h, and press the SET button to lock it in. After that, you can take your foot off the accelerator, and the car will automatically maintain the speed. To increase speed slightly, press the + button, and to decrease, press the - button. If you encounter a situation where you need to cancel, simply tap the brake or press the CANCEL button to stop immediately; to resume the original speed, press RESUME. Remember to use it on straight roads with light traffic, not in congested city areas, as it can be unsafe. After using it for a few years, I've found it reduces fatigue and saves some fuel, but you always need to stay alert to road conditions and keep your hands close to the steering wheel.
