How to Use the Cruise Control in the Verano?

[VonJustin]

When the vehicle's speed reaches above 40 km/h, turn on the cruise control switch, then press the deceleration button to set the desired speed. The car will maintain the set speed, and pressing the deceleration button again will activate the cruise control function. To deactivate it, simply press the brake pedal, and it will automatically turn off. The Verano's cruise control system only works when the speed is above 40 km/h. Below are some precautions for using cruise control: 1. Do not use the speed control system on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions (such as slippery surfaces, loose gravel, or roads after heavy rain). 2. After the system is activated and the speed is above 40 km/h, do not shift the gear lever into neutral without pressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage. 3. If the set cruising speed is too high compared to the current traffic conditions, do not resume the set speed.

After driving for so many years, I can say cruise control is a lifesaver for long-distance trips. It's quite simple to use in the Verano. First, wait until the speed reaches above 40 km/h, then press the cruise control button with the dial icon on the left side of the steering wheel—a white indicator light will illuminate on the instrument panel. Then, press SET- once to lock the current speed. To accelerate or decelerate, press RES+ or SET-, adjusting the speed by about 2 km/h per press. If you need to brake, stepping on the brake pedal will automatically deactivate it; just press RES+ to resume. However, remember not to use it on downhill slopes or during rain or snow to avoid unstable speed control. Always be ready to take over the steering wheel—this feature is not meant for autonomous driving.

As a modern car owner, I find the cruise control feature truly liberating for my right foot. The operation is quite intuitive: start the vehicle and accelerate to your desired speed, then press the cruise control switch button on the left side of the steering wheel. At this point, a cruise icon will illuminate on the dashboard to indicate the system is ready, and pressing the SET button below will complete the setup. For fine-tuning the speed, simply use the directional buttons to increase or decrease - each light press adjusts the speed precisely by 1 km/h. It's especially useful on highways with light traffic, where a quick glance at the icon lets you know the cruise status. To cancel, either press the brake or the CANCEL button, and to reactivate, the RES button is conveniently placed. However, it's best avoided in congested city traffic where manual control is safer due to complex road conditions.

Safety settings are the top priority when using cruise control while driving. The operation of the Verano involves three steps: first, activate the system by pressing the cruise control button on the left side of the steering wheel when the speed reaches above 30 km/h; then, press the set button to lock in the desired speed. During driving, each press of the speed adjustment button increases or decreases the speed by 1 km/h. Once, when the road conditions suddenly became complex ahead, I lightly tapped the brake to deactivate it immediately, and it was particularly convenient to press the resume button to reset. It is recommended to use this feature on straight highways for the safest experience, and to exit control before entering curves. Remember not to follow other vehicles too closely, as this function does not include automatic braking.

The working principle of this car's cruise control is essentially a speed feedback system. To activate it, a minimum speed condition must be met, and pressing the CRUISE button is equivalent to enabling the module. The SET button sends a signal to lock the speed, instructing the ECU to maintain a steady speed. The system then controls the throttle opening via the electronic throttle to maintain the set speed. When encountering changes in road gradient, the system automatically makes fine adjustments to ensure the set speed remains constant. To resume the previous speed, pressing the RES button recalls the last stored speed parameter. However, vehicles with modified ECUs may experience abnormal speed control, which is something to be aware of.

When picking up and dropping off kids at tutoring classes, I often need to take the highway, and the Verano's cruise control has been a great help. The operation is very simple: press the cruise button when the speed exceeds 40 km/h to activate it, then press the SET button to start maintaining speed. During the drive, you can adjust the speed anytime by pressing the plus or minus buttons, with each press changing the speed by about 1 km/h. To cancel, just lightly tap the brake—very convenient. Once, when I saw a speed camera, I quickly pressed the button to slow down and avoid speeding. It makes long drives less tiring for my feet and helps me focus better on observing road conditions. However, it's best not to use it when there's snow or fog on the road—safety comes first.
