2 Answers
Here are the steps to use the cruise control on Changan CS55: 1. Press the power button to activate the cruise control system, at which point the cruise control indicator on the dashboard will light up. 2. Increase the vehicle speed to the desired level, then press the SET button. You can now release your right foot from the accelerator, and the speed will be maintained at the current level. 3. If you need to make minor adjustments to the speed, you can use the "RES" and "SET-" buttons to do so. Here is some additional information: 1. The cruise control system, also known as speed control or autopilot, allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed without the driver needing to press the accelerator pedal. This feature is particularly useful for long-distance highway driving, as it reduces driver fatigue and minimizes unnecessary speed fluctuations, thereby saving fuel. 2. In simple terms, the cruise control system works by comparing the pulse signals from the vehicle speed sensor with the preset speed. Based on this comparison, it sends commands to the servo mechanism to adjust the throttle opening, ensuring the vehicle maintains the set speed.
To use the cruise control function of the Changan CS55, it's actually quite simple, just follow the steps. First, start the car and drive onto a highway or smooth road, preferably at a speed above 40 km/h, otherwise the system won't work. On the left side of the steering wheel, there's a control area—find and press the cruise button, and when the light turns on, it means it's activated. Then, accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, and press the 'SET' button. After that, to increase or decrease the speed, press the '+' or '-' buttons nearby, adjusting by 1-2 km/h with each press. To cancel, simply step on the brake or press 'CANCEL,' and the system will stop immediately. I often use it on long drives to relax my legs, but remember not to rely on it too much in rainy, snowy, or winding conditions—it can be dangerous.
