How to Use the Cruise Control Button?
2 Answers
About the operation steps for using the cruise control button are as follows: 1. Turn on the cruise switch via the button on the side of the lever, and the cruise indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. When the speed exceeds 40km/h, push the lever in the SET direction, and a green SET sign will appear below the cruise indicator light on the dashboard, indicating that the cruise is successfully set. 2. While the vehicle is in cruise mode, push the cruise lever in the -SET direction to decrease the set cruise speed. 3. While the vehicle is in cruise mode, push the cruise lever in the +RES direction to increase the set cruise speed, or hold it until the speed reaches the desired level before releasing. 4. While the vehicle is in cruise mode, pull the lever towards the steering wheel to cancel the cruise mode, at which point the cruise enters a ready state.
Learning the cruise control buttons is quite simple now. From my experience, while driving, first ensure you're on a flat road and operate it under safe conditions. To activate, press the cruise control button on your car—common indicators like 'ON' or a cruise symbol lighting up mean the system is engaged. Accelerate to your desired speed, say around 100 km/h on the highway, then press the 'SET' or speed setting button to lock in that speed, after which you can release the accelerator. The system will maintain a steady speed. Occasionally, you might need to adjust—tap the '+' button to speed up or '-' to slow down, with each press typically increasing or decreasing speed by 5-10 km/h. For temporary overtaking, pressing the accelerator is fine, but remember to lightly tap the brake or press the 'CANCEL' button to deactivate cruise control; otherwise, you'll need to reset the speed when reactivating. Avoid using it in rain, snow, or crowded intersections, as it can lead to distraction or loss of control. Over time, develop a habit of testing the buttons before setting off to ensure they respond correctly. It’s actually quite handy—saves leg fatigue and makes long drives more comfortable.
