How to Use Cruise Control on a Cruze?
2 Answers
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.
