How to Use the Cruise Control on the Cruze?
2 Answers
The method to use the cruise control on the Cruze is: 1. Press the ON/OFF key to activate the system, at which point the cruise control indicator on the dashboard will light up; 2. Accelerate to above 40 mph, press the SET key, and release the right foot from the accelerator to set the speed at the current rate; 3. Use the RES and SET keys to accelerate or decelerate; 4. There are three ways to deactivate the cruise control: step on the brake, press the cancel key, or press the ON/OFF key. The cruise control system, also known as the speed control system or autonomous driving system, functions to maintain the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a constant speed. The Cruze's engine type is turbocharged, with a luggage compartment volume of 430L, vehicle dimensions of 4630mm, 1798mm, 1485mm, and a wheelbase of 2640mm.
As a new driver who hasn't been driving for long, I bought the Cruze last month and experienced its cruise control function for the first time. On the highway, I first accelerated to my desired target speed, around 70km/h, then lightly pressed the cruise control button on the steering wheel, and the system locked the current speed, allowing me to take my foot off the accelerator. If I needed to increase or decrease the speed, there were plus and minus buttons on the steering wheel for gradual adjustments, which worked with just a press; if I encountered a situation where I needed to cancel, either stepping on the brake or pressing the cancel button would immediately stop the cruise. This made long-distance driving much easier for me, as I didn't have to keep my leg tense all the time. However, I must remind everyone not to use it recklessly in poor road conditions or during rainy days—safety is always the top priority. Remember to practice a few times; it's quick to get the hang of and not difficult at all.
