The method to use the cruise control on Changan CS55 is: 1. Press the power button to activate the cruise control system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate; 2. Increase the vehicle speed to the desired level, then press the SET button, allowing you to release the accelerator pedal as the speed will be maintained at the current level; 3. If fine adjustments to the speed are needed, use the RES and SET buttons for operation. The Changan CS55 is an SUV model with body dimensions of 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. Its design features a three-spoke steering wheel and a symmetrical center console, with personalized touches such as the air vents, central control area, and red decorative strips on both sides of the dashboard.
When I was driving my Changan CS55 on the highway, I frequently used the cruise control function, which is a great assistant for long-distance driving. Simply put, first accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, then press the cruise activation button on the left side of the steering wheel to turn on the system. Immediately after, press the set button on the steering wheel to lock in the current speed. The system will then automatically maintain the speed, allowing your foot to rest. If you need to adjust the speed, use the +/- buttons nearby. To cancel, the safest methods are lightly tapping the brake or pressing the cancel button. Cruise control works best on highways or open roads—never use it in heavy traffic as the system won’t automatically brake. It saves fuel and reduces fatigue, but remember to turn it off during rain, snow, or sharp curves to prevent loss of control, and always check button positions before each trip. In short, practice makes perfect—safe and efficient.
As a new driver who just got my license, I was a bit nervous when first trying the CS55's cruise control, but later found it quite simple. Here are the steps: First, reach a steady speed, for example, over 60 km/h on the highway, then press the small cruise icon button on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the function. Next, press the adjacent speed confirmation button to lock the current value. After that, the vehicle will automatically control the speed, and you can fine-tune it using the +/- buttons on the steering wheel. To cancel cruise control, gently pressing the brake is the easiest way, avoiding sudden braking. As a beginner, I recommend practicing on straight and flat roads, avoiding activation in urban areas or turns to prevent accidents. Although the system is smart, it doesn’t handle emergencies. More practice will boost confidence, and using it on highways really saves effort while also extending battery life.
