How to Use Cruise Control on BMW X5?
1 Answers
To use the cruise control on the BMW X5, once the cruise control is activated, release the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will automatically maintain the set speed. To decelerate, press the brake pedal, which will automatically deactivate the cruise control system, returning control to manual acceleration and deceleration. Similarly, pressing the accelerator pedal while cruise control is active will also deactivate the system. Below are the conditions for using cruise control on the BMW X5: 1. In principle, cruise control should be used on highways or fully enclosed roads. On non-enclosed roads, complex road conditions can compromise traffic safety. For example, on national highways, underpowered tractors often emerge abruptly from small intersections, posing a serious threat to vehicles on the highway. In such scenarios, cruise control can make it difficult to react promptly. Repeated braking also prevents maintaining a stable cruise control state, negating its purpose. 2. Do not use cruise control in rainy or icy/snowy conditions. 3. Avoid using cruise control on winding mountain roads or roads with excessive curves. Normally, when exiting a curve, additional throttle is needed to provide greater steering force. With cruise control active, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed, with throttle controlled by the onboard computer, which can be dangerous when navigating curves.
