How to Use Roewe's Cruise Control?
3 Answers
Roewe's cruise control is operated via the lever switch on the left side of the steering wheel. When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the cruise lever switch is in the ON position, the cruise control system is in standby mode. When the current speed exceeds 40 km/h, pressing the set button at the end of the cruise lever switch activates the cruise system. Once activated, the cruise system will maintain the target speed without the need to press the accelerator pedal. Taking the Roewe 350 as an example: its body dimensions are 4521mm in length, 1788mm in width, and 1492mm in height, equipped with a 1.5T engine that delivers a maximum torque of 210 Nm. The 1.5T engine utilizes multi-point fuel injection and multi-angle continuous variable valve timing technology, along with platinum spark plugs, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission featuring high-efficiency, high-precision transmission gears and an ECO economic driving mode.
The cruise control operation of Roewe is actually quite easy to get used to. I usually use it when driving on highways. First, locate the cruise control button on the left side of the steering wheel (usually a speedometer icon), press it to activate the system, and a white cruise indicator will appear on the dashboard. When the speed reaches above 40 km/h (60 km/h or above is recommended in urban areas), press the SET/- button to lock the current speed. After that, there's no need to press the accelerator pedal—the car will maintain the speed automatically. To accelerate, press RES/+, which increases the speed by 1-2 km/h per press; to decelerate, use the SET/- button. If the car ahead slows down, lightly tapping the brake will pause the cruise control, and pressing RES/+ again will resume it once the road conditions allow. Note: avoid using it during rainy days or on winding roads, and never take your hands off the steering wheel—safety comes first. Long-term use can save effort, but sudden situations still require human reaction.
When using the Roewe cruise control, pay attention to safety details. The activation button is located on the left side of the steering wheel. After pressing it to light up, increase the speed to above 40km/h, then press the SET key to lock the speed. During cruising, if you want to fine-tune the speed, briefly press RES to increase speed or SET to decrease speed; long pressing will adjust the speed in 5km/h increments. In case of traffic changes, intervene by stepping on the brake to automatically exit cruise control, or press the CANCEL key. To restart, press the RES key to resume the original speed. Two reminders: first, on downhill sections, the system may not control the speed effectively, requiring active braking; second, avoid using it on icy roads as the computer may not react quickly enough to tire slippage. Using cruise control in tunnels is actually more convenient, with stable lighting and steady speed.
