How to Use Cruise Control on Chevrolet Equinox?
2 Answers
Chevrolet Equinox cruise control usage is as follows: 1. There is a switch on the left side of the steering wheel. Turn on the switch and drive normally. Cruise control only works when the speed is above 40 km/h. The + and - buttons are for acceleration and deceleration. 2. When the speed is above 40 km/h, press the switch to activate the system. Push up to accelerate and push down to decelerate. After applying the brakes and releasing them, the vehicle will automatically reach the set speed. 3. The function of cruise control is to automatically maintain the speed set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a constant speed.
When I first drove the Equinox, I also researched this feature. On the right side of the steering wheel, there are several buttons with speed icons—pay attention to the cruise control button that looks like a dashboard. To activate it, first drive above 40 km/h, then press the silver cruise button to turn on the system. A white cruise indicator will light up on the dashboard. Then, continue accelerating to your desired speed (e.g., 100 km/h on the highway) and push the SET/- lever downward to lock the current speed. To adjust speed, flick the small lever up or down, changing it by 1.6 km/h per tap. For temporary acceleration (like overtaking), just press the gas pedal—releasing it will return to the set cruise speed. Pressing the brake or the button with an "X" cancels cruise control. To resume, flick the RES/+ lever upward. Avoid using this feature in heavy rain, as the radar sensor may misread due to water interference.
