How to use the cruise control on GAC Trumpchi GS4?
3 Answers
To use the cruise control on GAC Trumpchi GS4, follow these steps: First, press the CRUISE button to activate the cruise function, and a white cruise light will illuminate on the instrument panel. When the vehicle speed reaches the desired cruising speed (above 40 km/h), press the SET minus button, and the cruise light on the instrument panel will turn green, indicating that the cruise control is set. You can then release the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will maintain the set speed. Below is an introduction to pausing/resuming the cruise: Press the brake or the CANCEL button to temporarily pause the cruise, at which point the cruise light will change from green to white. If the vehicle speed is not lower than 40 km/h, pressing RES will resume cruising at the previously set speed. When the vehicle speed drops below 40 km/h, the stored speed is lost, and the previous cruising speed cannot be restored.
Using the cruise control on my Trumpchi GS4 is quite straightforward, even for an experienced driver like me, and it's perfect for long-distance driving. First, get the car onto the highway, ensuring the speed is at least 40 km/h. On the left side of the steering wheel, there are several buttons—I start by pressing the cruise control switch, which has an icon resembling a dashboard. Then, accelerate to the desired speed, say 80 km/h, and hold the SET button to lock in that speed. At this point, you can release the accelerator, and the system will maintain the speed automatically. To increase or decrease the speed, simply press the + or - buttons nearby. To cancel, lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button. Safety tip: Avoid using it in congested urban areas or during rainy/snowy conditions to prevent skidding. I find it fuel-efficient and reduces fatigue, especially on long trips. Regularly check the buttons for responsiveness and ensure they aren’t clogged with dust. Overall, it’s easy to get the hang of after a few tries.
I just learned how to use the GS4's cruise control. As a new car owner, taking it step by step is the safest approach. The controls are on the steering wheel—there's a button with a gauge icon on the left. Before driving, make sure you're on the highway and at a sufficient speed before activating it. Once you reach your desired speed, press the SET button to lock it in, and the system will take over automatically. The speed adjustment buttons are next to SET, allowing you to fine-tune as needed. The easiest ways to cancel are by pressing the brake or hitting CANCEL. The key is to ensure the road is clear—avoid activating it on curves or in heavy traffic. When I first started, I often made mistakes, like missing the indicator light, but now I’ve developed a habit of checking the buttons before driving. Bonus tip: When cruise control is engaged, a warning light will illuminate to help monitor the system. It’s great for reducing foot fatigue on long drives, but don’t rely on it for too long—switch to manual control occasionally to stay alert. I recommend practicing at lower speeds to get comfortable.
