Usage of cruise control on the Changan CS55: 1. Set the cruise speed: After reaching the desired speed, press SET- to save the current speed as the cruise target speed and start cruising. The display will show the current speed; 2. Press RES+ to increase the cruise speed; 3. Press SET- to decrease the cruise speed. The Changan CS55 is an SUV model with dimensions of 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The Changan CS55 features a multi-link independent rear suspension and an enhanced MacPherson independent front suspension, providing a comfortable chassis. The rear suspension allows adjustment of toe and camber, ensuring precise four-wheel alignment. The front suspension is equipped with a high-strength stabilizer bar for smoother cornering response.
As an owner of the Changan CS55, I frequently use it on highways. The cruise control operation is straightforward: first accelerate to your desired speed, usually above 40 km/h, not too low. There's a dedicated button on the steering wheel labeled CRUISE or something similar—press that power button to activate the system, then press the SET button to lock the speed once it stabilizes. After cruise control starts, you can fine-tune the speed using the + or - buttons on the steering wheel, like increasing from 80 to 85 km/h with just a light tap. If you need to slow down in an emergency, stepping on the brake automatically disengages it, or you can press the CANCEL button to pause. To resume, press the RES button to return to the previous speed. This feature is super helpful for long-distance driving, giving your foot a break, but avoid using it in heavy traffic—safety first. Regularly check if the buttons are responsive and keep them clean to prevent dust buildup. Last time I used it on a national highway, it felt quite handy, but beginners might forget the steps easily—just remember to practice a few times to get familiar.
When driving the Changan CS55, the cruise control is my great helper on the highway. The operation process is straightforward: ensure the speed is appropriate, such as around 50 km/h, then switch the ON button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate cruise control, and press the SET button to lock the current speed. Once locked, there's no need to press the accelerator—the car maintains a constant speed automatically. To adjust the speed, tap the + to increase or - to decrease it. In case of emergencies, like the car ahead slowing down, stepping on the brake immediately cancels the cruise control, and pressing RES resumes it. I recommend using it on straight roads in clear weather for maximum safety and avoiding reliance on it on slopes or curves. Additionally, remain alert during cruise control, keep both hands on the steering wheel in case of system failure. During regular maintenance, check the electrical connections as well. This feature saves fuel and hassle, but avoid unauthorized modifications—keeping the original factory settings ensures stability.
