2 Answers
The usage method of cruise control on Roewe 550: 1. Press the control switch to activate cruise control standby, accelerate to the desired speed and then push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed; 2. To cancel cruise control, pull the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, or press the accelerator pedal or lightly tap the brake. Taking the 2014 manual Zhixuan edition Roewe 550 as an example, its body dimensions are 4648mm in length, 1827mm in width, 1483mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. This model is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 133PS, maximum power of 98kW, maximum torque of 170Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Roewe 550 for two years, and the cruise control works quite smoothly. Before getting on the highway, I usually accelerate to the desired speed, say 100 kilometers per hour, then press the CRUISE button on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the system, followed by the SET button to lock the current speed. Once the system is engaged, the car automatically maintains the speed without needing constant pressure on the accelerator. To adjust the speed, use the + and - buttons on the steering wheel for minor increments or decrements, with each press changing the speed by a few kilometers. Pressing the brake or the CANCEL button will immediately disengage the cruise control. It's especially helpful for long-distance driving, preventing accidental speeding, but make sure the road is clear before using it. I prefer manual control during rainy conditions or on steep slopes for added safety. Regular maintenance checks on the buttons and wiring are essential to avoid sudden malfunctions that could disrupt the experience.
