How to Use Cruise Control in Tharu?

[MacAmy]

The cruise control buttons of Tharu are located on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. Turn on the cruise control switch and set the current speed as the cruising speed. Below is extended information about cruise control: 1. Cruise control means maintaining a fixed speed. After activating cruise control, the throttle's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, which adjusts the throttle opening based on road conditions and driving resistance to maintain the preset speed. 2. The right foot does not need to press the accelerator pedal, as the vehicle maintains the preset speed. This reduces driver fatigue while also saving fuel consumption, achieving economical and relaxed driving. It is mainly used on highways.

I particularly enjoy using cruise control for long-distance driving, and the operation is actually quite simple. The cruise control buttons for the Tharu are located on the left side of the steering wheel. While driving, first press the button with the dashboard icon in the upper left corner with your right hand to activate the system. Then, manually accelerate to your desired speed, such as between 80-100 km/h on the highway. Immediately press the SET/- button to lock the current speed, and a green indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard to confirm activation. During cruise control, fine-tune your speed using RES/+ to accelerate or SET/- to decelerate. To temporarily deactivate cruise control, lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button. This feature is especially effortless on highways with light traffic, as it eliminates the need to keep your foot tense. However, a friendly reminder: it's best to turn it off during rainy weather or heavy traffic, and always keep your hands on the steering wheel—the system only maintains speed and does not steer automatically.

The cruise control module of the Tharu is integrated into the left-hand button area of the steering wheel. Before activation, the vehicle speed must exceed 30 km/h. First, press the CRUISE master switch with the speedometer icon in the upper left corner to activate the system. When the actual speed reaches your desired value, immediately press the SET/- button to lock the current speed. During cruise control, briefly pressing the RES/+ button increases the speed by 1.6 km/h each time, while pressing the SET/- button decreases it. There are three ways to fully deactivate the system: pressing the brake pedal, pressing the CANCEL button, or pressing the CRUISE button again. I usually activate it on straight highway sections and cancel it in advance when encountering complex road conditions. It's worth noting that when activated, it's best to keep your right foot lightly resting on the brake pedal for quicker response to emergencies. The system automatically adjusts power output on slopes, but for steep inclines, manual control is recommended for safety.

As a Tharu owner, I find the cruise control operation quite intuitive. While driving, press the top round button in the left steering wheel area to activate the system, then accelerate to your desired speed normally and immediately press the adjacent SET button to confirm. To deactivate, simply brake or press the CANCEL button with the curved arrow symbol. The resume function is particularly useful: after temporary cancellation, pressing RES returns to your previously set speed without readjustment. I typically use it on urban expressways and highways when traffic is light, which significantly reduces driving fatigue. However, always remember to manually take over before turns or ramps, and during rainy/snowy conditions when roads are slippery, it's safer to operate manually throughout.
