How to Use the Cruise Control in GAC Trumpchi?
3 Answers
Press the cruise control switch to activate standby mode. Accelerate to the desired speed and then push the control lever downward. To cancel cruise control, lift the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, press the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake. After setting the desired speed with the switch, the vehicle will automatically maintain that speed without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to drive at a constant speed.
I've been driving for over 30 years, and cruise control has been my reliable assistant for long-distance trips. GAC Motor's cruise system is very intuitive to operate: first ensure the vehicle is traveling above 40 km/h, then press the cruise switch on the steering wheel to activate the mode. When the speed reaches your desired level, say 80 km/h, press the SET button to lock the current speed. After that, the car will maintain the speed automatically, giving my right foot a much-needed rest. However, it's crucial to note that I never use it during highway traffic jams or on wet rainy roads to avoid rear-end collisions. To adjust speed, simply use the +/- buttons on the steering wheel, and pressing CANCEL or lightly tapping the brake will immediately deactivate the system. I've found this feature can save about 5% fuel over time due to its smoother speed control. Periodically, I check the wiring connections of the control module to prevent loosening that might affect responsiveness.
As a car enthusiast, I study various functional details every day. GAC Trumpchi's cruise control is located on the right-hand control panel of the steering wheel: first press the ON/OFF button to activate the system, then accelerate to your desired cruising speed, say 70 km/h, and press the SET button to lock it in. The RES button resumes the previously set speed, while the CANCEL button exits the system at any time. To adjust the speed, use the + or - buttons for step-by-step operation. However, avoid using it on bumpy roads as the sensor may misjudge the speed, leading to loss of control. When cruising, maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the car ahead for safety. If you notice speed drift, check the tire pressure or fuse status. I often use it on highways for a smooth and worry-free experience, which also reduces unnecessary engine load and extends its lifespan.
