2 Answers
New Emgrand cruise control usage method: 1. Press the control switch to activate cruise control standby; 2. After accelerating to the desired speed, push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed; 3. To cancel cruise control, lift the control lever upward, turn off the cruise control master switch, press the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake. The New Emgrand is a sub-brand under Geely's parent brand, with body dimensions of 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height, a wheelbase of 2650mm, equipped with a 1.3T GeTec DVVT turbocharged engine, featuring front-wheel drive and a maximum power output of 98kw.
Using the cruise control on the new Emgrand is actually quite simple, and I often rely on it for highway driving to save effort. The vehicle speed must first exceed 40 km/h to be suitable for activation. At this point, press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system, and an indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate to signal readiness. Then press the set button (usually labeled SET or a similar icon) to lock the current speed. If you want to accelerate or decelerate while driving, use the plus or minus buttons on the steering wheel to fine-tune the speed by 1-5 km/h, which is quite convenient. To cancel, simply lightly tap the brake or press the cancel button, and the system will immediately deactivate. This feature is especially useful for long-distance driving—not only does it save fuel (I’ve tested it to save at least 10% due to stable speed and higher engine efficiency), but it also reduces fatigue from constantly pressing the accelerator. However, remember to only use it on highways or open roads, and avoid activating it in urban areas or heavy traffic to prevent distractions and accidents. Occasionally check if the buttons are responsive and functioning properly to avoid accidental activation.
