How to Use the Cruise Control on Roewe 550?

Press the main switch, then press the thumbwheel switch to set the cruising speed. Quickly rotate the thumbwheel switch upward to accelerate the vehicle automatically, or rotate it downward to reduce the speed. Normally press the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle. The cruise system will turn off when the brake pedal is pressed or a different gear is selected. Press the reset switch to return to the previous speed.

As a new owner of the Roewe 550, I find the cruise control quite smooth to use. When driving on the highway, after the speed reaches above 40 km/h, I press the cruise activation button on the steering wheel or center console to start the system. I accelerate to my desired speed, say 60 or 80 km/h, then press the SET button to lock it in, freeing the throttle. After that, I use the RES+ or RES- buttons to adjust the speed as needed, maintaining control at all times; stepping on the brake automatically cancels it, and pressing RES resumes it. This feature is great for long trips, reducing fatigue and saving fuel, but I always stay alert to road conditions to avoid rear-end collisions or minor system errors. If it occasionally malfunctions, I check the fuse or visit a service point for calibration. Beginners might need some time to get used to it, and the owner's manual is a helpful guide—safety is always the top priority.

I've been driving the Roewe 550 for several years, and the cruise control operation is quite simple: After starting the car and driving onto the highway, press the cruise switch to activate the system. Accelerate to the desired speed and press SET to lock it in, then the car maintains speed automatically. Use the '+' button to increase speed and the '-' button to decrease speed, saving effort on the accelerator. Pressing the brake automatically cancels cruise control, and pressing RES resumes it. This setup is convenient and relaxing, especially on long drives, reducing fatigue. I regularly check the buttons to ensure they're free of dust and functioning properly. I recommend practicing in an empty area a few times when first using it to get comfortable. Don't rely solely on the system when road conditions change; manual intervention is safer. It makes driving more comfortable and saves a bit on fuel.

When using the cruise control on my Roewe 550, I always prioritize safety: the system activates above 40 km/h. After setting the speed with the SET button, I keep both hands on the wheel and focus on the road ahead. The acceleration and deceleration buttons are responsive, but I can cancel it anytime by braking to handle sudden situations. On highways, it helps drive smoothly and saves energy. The system responds steadily, and I regularly check tire pressure to ensure full control. Beginners should familiarize themselves with the manual first—don’t get distracted for convenience. Safe driving matters most.
