How to Use Cruise Control in BMW 320?
2 Answers
To use the cruise control in BMW 320: maintain a speed above 40 km/h, press the ON/OFF button at the top of the cruise control lever, keep the throttle steady, and after about three seconds, push the lever downward to set the speed. Cruise control allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed without the driver needing to press the accelerator pedal. The BMW 320 is a mid-size car from BMW, with dimensions of 4531mm in length, 1817mm in width, and 1421mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2760mm. It features steering wheel heating, steering wheel memory, a digital instrument cluster, HUD display, built-in dash cam, active noise cancellation, wireless phone charging, and adjustable pedals.
As a car owner, I often use the cruise control feature of my BMW 320, especially during long highway drives. The operation is quite simple: while driving, first accelerate to your desired steady speed, such as 60 km/h, which is usually the minimum threshold required for setting. Then, locate the button labeled SET on the steering wheel and press it to lock the current speed. Once set, the cruise system will automatically maintain the speed, so you don't need to keep pressing the accelerator. If you slow down midway, such as by braking, the cruise will pause; pressing the RESUME button at this point will restore the preset speed. Additionally, there are +/- buttons on the steering wheel for fine-tuning the speed, with each press adjusting it by 1-2 km/h. Remember, safety comes first—avoid using it in congested urban areas or during rainy/foggy weather, as the system won't automatically brake to avoid obstacles. When activated, it allows for more relaxed monitoring of road conditions and reduces driving fatigue, but don't forget you remain the ultimate controller. Regularly checking if the system responds properly can help prevent minor malfunctions.
