How to Use Haval Cruise Control?

[Gwendolyn]

The usage method of Haval cruise control is as follows: 1. Activate cruise and set speed: First press CRUISE to enable the cruise function, the white cruise light on the dashboard will illuminate. When the vehicle speed reaches the desired cruise speed, press the SET minus key, and the cruise light on the dashboard will turn green, indicating the speed is set. Release the accelerator to maintain the set speed. 2. Decrease cruise speed: While in cruise mode, press SET again to reduce the speed by 1.6km/h each time. Hold SET to continuously decrease the speed. 3. Increase cruise speed: While in cruise mode, press RES to increase the speed by 1.6km/h each time. Hold RES to continuously increase the speed. 4. Accelerate for overtaking: After overtaking, releasing the accelerator will gradually slow down to the set cruise speed and continue cruising. 5. Pause/Resume cruise: Press the brake or CANCEL to temporarily stop cruise control. The cruise light will change from green to white. Press RES at a speed not lower than 40km/h to resume cruising at the previous speed. When the speed drops below 40km/h, the stored speed is lost and cannot be resumed. 6. Turn off cruise: Press CRUISE to deactivate cruise control, and the cruise light will turn off.

I love using cruise control when driving my Haval H6 on highways! Here's my usual operation: After exceeding 40km/h, first press the cruise button with the speedometer icon on the right side of the steering wheel, and a white cruise indicator will appear on the dashboard. Then accelerate to your desired speed, say 80km/h, and push the SET- lever downward to lock the speed - the indicator turns green. For minor speed adjustments, flick the RES+ or SET- lever up/down, with each flick changing speed by 1km/h. Braking or pressing CANCEL will temporarily deactivate it, while RES+ resumes the last set speed. Important reminder: On long descents, better shift to manual mode or control speed via brakes as cruise's engine braking might be insufficient. Never use this feature in urban areas or winding roads - it's unsafe.

My Haval Big Dog relies heavily on cruise control for long-distance drives. Look for the row of buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, and find the one with a speedometer icon - pressing it activates the system. Drive to your desired cruising speed, then briefly pull down the SET button to lock it in; the cruise indicator on the dashboard will change color as confirmation. If the car ahead slows down requiring adjustment, either brake to disengage or simply press the cancel button. When road conditions improve, briefly push up the RES button to return to your preset speed. Pro tip: When overtaking, just press the accelerator to speed up - releasing it automatically resumes your cruising speed without needing to reset. Remember not to use this feature in rain or snow, as the system can't respond quickly enough if the tires lose traction.

Adaptive cruise control is an absolute lifesaver for highway fatigue! Based on my experience driving the Haval F7, certain conditions must be met to activate it: speed above 40km/h and relatively straight roads. Locate the main cruise control switch in the right-hand area of the steering wheel - the dashboard will display a prompt when activated. Accelerate to your desired speed, then press the SET button to engage. To adjust speed afterwards, use the RES/SET buttons for 1km/h increments/decrements. Important note: The system may have slight latency when preceding vehicles suddenly decelerate, so always keep your foot hovering over the brake. It's advisable to manually take control before entering tunnels or sharp curves to avoid system misjudgment. While most new vehicles now come equipped with this feature, never become over-reliant - maintain proper driving vigilance at all times.

Let's talk about the mechanical principles of Haval's cruise control. When you press the cruise activation button, the body control module enters standby mode. Upon reaching the target speed and pressing the SET button, the system locks the signal via the speed sensor and automatically takes over the throttle opening. The ECU then continuously compares the actual speed with the set value, maintaining a constant speed by adjusting the fuel injection volume. When speed adjustment is needed, pressing RES+ actually sends a voltage signal to the ECU to reset the parameters. Stepping on the brake triggers the brake switch signal, instantly deactivating the cruise control. It's important to note for owners who have modified tire sizes—speed signals may become inaccurate, leading to cruise control malfunctions, so it's best to recalibrate with professional equipment.

To safely use cruise control, pay attention to three key points: Ensure you are on a straight, dry road with speeds above 40km/h before activation; always keep hands on the wheel and be ready to take over; avoid using it in urban areas, curves, or slippery surfaces. The operation is simple: press the cruise button on the right side of the steering wheel to illuminate the indicator, then after reaching the desired speed, push the SET button to lock it. Never activate it when following distance is insufficient, as the system won’t auto-brake. In emergencies, braking is faster than searching for the cancel button. On long trips, drowsiness is common, but remember cruise control isn’t autonomous—take breaks at rest stops to relax your eyes and legs.
