2 Answers
To use the cruise control on the BMW 320: 1. Increase the vehicle speed to above 40 km/h, then press the 'set' button to lock in the current speed; 2. You can press the 'res+' or 'set-' buttons to fine-tune the speed to reach the desired cruising speed; 3. The cruise control indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard, displaying the set cruising speed; 4. To cancel the cruise control, simply press the brake pedal or the cancel button. Taking the 2021 BMW 320 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size sedan category with body dimensions of 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, a wheelbase of 2851mm, front and rear track widths of 1506mm, a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters, a trunk capacity of 460 liters, and a curb weight of 1465kg.
As a beginner with the BMW 320, I understand that cruise control might sound advanced, but it's actually quite simple. After starting the car and getting on the highway, accelerate to at least 40 kilometers per hour until you feel stable. On the steering wheel, find a button labeled CRUISE and tap it to activate the system, then press the SET button to lock in the current speed. To increase speed, press the + button; to decrease, use the - button for flexible control. To cancel, lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button to deactivate immediately. To resume, press the RES button to return to the original speed. My first try on the highway saved me a lot of effort, but a safety reminder: avoid using it in congested city areas or on rainy, slippery roads as it can be distracting and lead to accidents. Take it slow when you're just starting out.
