The usage of cruise control in GAC Trumpchi GM8: First press the start button, then accelerate to the desired speed and press the set button. You can fine-tune the speed with the plus and minus buttons, and the car will drive at the set speed. Pressing the brake will end the cruise control. The GAC Trumpchi GM8 is an MPV under the GAC Trumpchi automobile company. Its exterior adopts the Trumpchi family-style design, with a large-mouth front grille decorated with irregular thick horizontal chrome strips, paired with wide front headlights on both sides. The front and rear bumpers and side skirts are outlined with chrome strips.

When driving the GM8 on the highway, I often use cruise control to reduce fatigue. The simple steps are: first accelerate to the desired speed, such as 80 to 100 kilometers per hour, ensuring the road conditions are clear. Then press the SET button on the right side of the steering wheel to lock the current speed. The system will automatically control the throttle, allowing you to relax your hands a bit. To fine-tune the speed, press the '+' or '-' buttons on the steering wheel to slightly increase or decrease the speed. To cancel cruise control, gently press the brake or press the CANCEL button—avoid slamming the brakes to prevent sudden stops. Remember, cruise control is only suitable for highway or long-distance driving; avoid using it in congested city traffic or during rainy weather, as your reaction time may slow down while using it, and you should always maintain a safe distance. If the cruise control malfunctions, check if the car displays any fault codes and have it repaired promptly. Developing good habits with cruise control can save fuel and effort.
