How to Use Cruise Control in a Car?

[LeLeilani]

Press the power button to activate the system, at which point the cruise control indicator on the dashboard will light up. Accelerate to your desired speed (above 40km/h), then press the SET button. At this point, you can release your foot from the accelerator, and the speed will be set at the current speed. Press "RES+" to increase the speed from the current setting, or press "SET-" to decrease the speed from the current setting. There are three ways to deactivate cruise control: press the brake, press the cancel (CANCEL) button, or press the power (ON/OFF) button. If cruise control is deactivated by pressing the brake or the cancel button, you can press the RES button to resume the previous cruise control speed.

Just taught my neighbor how to use this feature a few days ago! Cruise control is actually very simple: First, ensure your speed is above 30km/h, then press the main cruise control switch on the steering wheel with the speedometer icon. At this point, a white cruise light will illuminate on the dashboard, indicating the system is on standby. Next, accelerate to your desired speed, say 80km/h on the highway, and press the SET button to lock the current speed. Now, even if you release the accelerator, the car won't slow down—just remember to keep your right foot hovering over the brake! To fine-tune the speed, use the +/- buttons; each press adjusts the speed by 1-2 km. If you need to slow down, gently tap the brake, and the cruise control will automatically pause; to resume, simply press the RES button, and the car will accelerate sharply back to the previously set speed—be extra careful with this! Never use it in city traffic or during rainy weather!

Last time on a long trip, I tried the full procedure: after starting the vehicle, first drive above 40 mph, find the CRUISE button on the left side of the steering wheel and press it to light it up. Accelerate to the desired speed and press the SET- button to lock it, then immediately move your right foot to the brake pedal on standby. For a temporary overtake, simply press the accelerator; after overtaking, release the accelerator and it will automatically return to the cruising speed. If someone cuts in, lightly tap the brake to cancel the cruise, and when the road conditions improve, press RES to continue. The most practical feature is the speed fine-tuning function; holding the +/- buttons allows the speed to continuously increase or decrease. Don't rely too much on this feature, especially on winding mountain roads, as the system can easily misjudge lane lines. Also, speed may drift on slopes, potentially exceeding the limit downhill or dropping uphill.

You'll know how effortless it is once you try it! Press the cruise control button on the steering wheel, then accelerate to your desired speed (e.g., 100km/h on the highway), and press the speed set button. After that, you can release the accelerator and keep your foot on the brake, ready for action. Adjust the speed directly with the +/- buttons. If you encounter any situation, just press the brake to pause, and press the resume button to return to the original speed. It's especially useful in tunnels, but remember to turn it off during heavy rain.

During driving tests, instructors repeatedly emphasize safety points: After activating the cruise control button and setting the speed, your right foot must remain in a position ready to brake at any moment! Once I set the cruise at 80km/h when a truck suddenly changed lanes ahead – luckily I braked half a second earlier. The resume button is most dangerous – pressing it makes the car abruptly accelerate to the previously set high speed, never press it when following vehicles closely. Don’t lazily use cruise control in urban traffic; delayed reactions easily cause rear-end collisions. On steep descents, manual control is best – once in hilly terrain I noticed the speed automatically surged to 115km/h and immediately turned off cruise.
