How to Use Cruise Control in Trumpchi GS8?
2 Answers
Short press the activation button, and the corresponding indicator light on the instrument cluster will illuminate in white. Accelerate to the desired cruising speed. Short press the SET- button, and the corresponding white indicator light on the instrument cluster will turn green. The vehicle enters cruise control mode, and you can release the accelerator pedal. Here are additional details: 1. Exiting Cruise Control: Depress the brake pedal; shift the transmission into "N" gear; short press the activation button; short press the cancel button to exit cruise control and clear the set cruising speed value; operate the electronic parking brake switch; when the ESP system is activated. 2. Resuming Cruise Control: When the corresponding indicator light on the instrument cluster is white and the speed is above 40km/h, short press the RES/+ button. The cruise control indicator on the instrument cluster will change from white to green, and the speed will return to the last set cruising speed memory value and maintain that speed.
For the cruise control on the Trumpchi GS8, I often use it on highways—it's especially effortless! The operation is simple: first, drive to about 50 km/h or above, find a steady stretch of road. There's a button on the steering wheel—usually on the lower left side—press the one labeled 'ON/OFF' to activate the system. Then, press 'SET' or a similar button to lock the current speed. During driving, release the accelerator, and the car will control the speed itself; for fine-tuning, use the '+' to speed up or '-' to slow down. If you encounter heavy traffic and need to slow down, stepping on the brake will automatically deactivate it, and pressing the 'RES' button will restore the previous settings. I recommend using it only on open roads, avoiding rainy or snowy weather to prevent slipping, as it doesn't have automatic braking. During long drives, it can reduce leg fatigue and save some fuel—I really trust this feature, and I keep the daily settings handy in my phone's memo for reference.
