How to use the cruise control on Geely Emgrand: On the multifunction steering wheel, the right side from top to bottom and left to right, viewed counterclockwise, there are four buttons with the following functions: (1) The first is RES+ (Resume/Accelerate in Chinese): (Press once briefly) Directly use the last used cruise speed for cruising. (Press multiple times briefly) Under the premise of already being in cruise mode, each additional press increases the cruise speed by 2 km/h. (2) The second is SET- (Set/Decelerate in Chinese): (Press once briefly) Set the current speed as the cruise speed (requires the vehicle speed to be greater than or equal to 38 km/h to set cruise). (Press multiple times briefly) Under the premise of already being in cruise mode, each additional press decreases the cruise speed by 2 km/h. (3) The third looks like a dashboard with a big cross inside, indicating: Cancel cruise (does not clear the set cruise speed memory; you can directly press RES+ next time to call up the set speed). (4) The fourth looks like a dashboard with only a single line inside, indicating: Turn on/off cruise (clears the set cruise speed memory).
I've been into cars for years and have helped friends adjust their cruise control systems many times. The Geely Emgrand's cruise control has a row of buttons on the right side of the steering wheel: the one with the cruise switch icon. When driving, first accelerate to at least 50 km/h, for example, maintaining a steady speed of 80 on the highway. Then press the cruise switch button to activate the system, and an indicator light will appear on the dashboard. Next, press the SET button or SET/+ button to lock the current speed; you can use the +/- buttons to adjust the speed gradually, changing by 1 km/h with each press. To cancel, lightly tap the brake and it will turn off automatically, or you can press the cancel button. The resume button quickly returns to the previous setting. But be careful: don’t use it when the road is wet in the rain, as the wheels may slip, and avoid using it in heavy city traffic. I use it to relax my foot, but I always keep my eyes on the road. If the buttons aren’t working, it might be a wiring issue—get it checked at a shop for peace of mind.
As an Emgrand owner, I often use cruise control on long highway drives to reduce fatigue. The operation is quite simple: once the car maintains a steady speed above 60 km/h, press the cruise control button on the steering wheel (marked with a small wheel icon). A beep confirms the system is activated. Then press the SET button to lock the speed, allowing your foot to rest from the accelerator. Use the +/- buttons to adjust speed in 1 km/h increments. In emergencies, braking cancels the function; the RESUME button can reactivate the previous setting when safe. I find it comfortable on open highways, but immediately deactivate it in heavy traffic—safety first. Regular maintenance of steering wheel buttons prevents dust buildup. While this feature makes driving easier, it's not fully autonomous, so stay attentive.
Having taught driving for many years, I remind everyone to use cruise control with caution. For the Emgrand system operation: activate by pressing the cruise button on the steering wheel when the speed is steady above 50 km/h; use the SET key to set the speed and then make fine adjustments with +/-. But the key point is to always stay focused on driving and keep your hands on the wheel; any braking will automatically cancel the system. Avoid using it on slippery roads, steep slopes, or curves, and only use the resume button when road conditions are stable. Safety first—don't let it replace your attention.
