How to Use the Cruise Control on Hongqi H9?
2 Answers
Press the control switch to activate the cruise control standby mode. After accelerating to the desired speed, push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed. To accelerate, push the lever upward or press the accelerator pedal. To cancel the cruise control, lift the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, press the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake. Additional information about cruise control is as follows: 1. Purpose: Cruise control automatically maintains the vehicle's speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. This eliminates the need for the driver to control the accelerator pedal, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed fluctuations, which can save fuel. 2. Principle: The principle of the cruise control system mainly involves the cruise control component reading the pulse signal from the speed sensor and comparing it with the set speed. Through precise electronic calculations, it issues commands to ensure the most accurate fuel supply for the vehicle at the set speed.
To be honest, the adaptive cruise control on the Hongqi H9 is really easy to use, and I love using it for long-distance drives. You can activate it once you're driving above 40 km/h. First, find the button with the small speedometer icon on the left side of the steering wheel and press it—the cruise indicator light will turn on. Then, push the RES/SET minus button downward, and the car will memorize the current speed and start cruising. To adjust speed, you don’t need to press the accelerator; just use the '+' or '-' buttons for fine-tuning—each press changes the speed by about 2 km/h. If you need to overtake, pressing the accelerator won’t disrupt the system; once you release it, the car will automatically return to the set speed. A quick reminder: pressing the brake or the CANCEL button will pause the cruise control, but to fully turn it off, you’ll need to press the original speedometer button again.
