How to Use Cruise Control on a Cruze?

[VanJosie]

First, press the power button to activate the cruise control system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. Next, accelerate to above 40km/h and press the SET button. You can then release your right 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. After setting the cruise speed, you can still accelerate using the accelerator pedal as usual. Once you release the accelerator pedal, the system will restore the vehicle speed to the set cruise speed.

Using the cruise control on the Cruze is actually quite simple. Let me share some driving experience. The operation can be broken down into a few steps: First, accelerate the car to your desired speed, say above 50 km/h, for the function to work. Then press the button with the speedometer icon on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the system—usually, an indicator light will come on. Next, press the SET button to lock in the current speed, and the car will start cruising automatically, so you don’t have to keep pressing the accelerator. To speed up, press the RESUME button; to slow down, use the SET button with the minus sign. To cancel, simply hit the brakes or press the CANCEL button. I often use this feature on highways—it helps reduce foot fatigue and even saves a bit of fuel. The key is to use it on open roads, not in crowded urban areas—safety first. It might feel a bit unfamiliar at first, but with practice, it becomes quite handy and very useful.

I just learned how to use the Cruze's cruise control, and as a new car owner, it feels quite novel. The operation steps aren't complicated: while driving, increase the speed to 40 or 50 kilometers per hour, press the cruise control button on the steering wheel to activate the system, and a small light will come on to indicate it's enabled. After stabilizing the speed, press the SET button to lock it in, and then the car will maintain that speed on its own, so you don't need to press the accelerator. To increase speed, press the plus side of the RESUME button, and to decrease speed, press the minus side of the SET button. Canceling is simple—just step on the brake or press the CANCEL key to stop immediately. This feature is especially useful for long-distance highway driving, giving your foot a break and preventing fatigue. However, it's best to practice in an open area first and avoid trying it in crowded places. It also helps control fuel consumption, adding a bit of convenience to daily commutes.

The key to safely using the Cruze cruise control lies in correct operation and appropriate scenarios. The steps are simple: after activating the system with the button, set the desired speed using the speed control buttons to adjust acceleration or deceleration, maintaining a constant speed. Press the brake to cancel. Only use this feature on open highways, avoiding heavy traffic or congestion to ensure manual control remains dominant. Pay attention to the vehicle's condition, use this function to reduce fatigue, prioritize safe driving, and maintain the system with regular checks.
