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 control switch to activate the cruise control standby mode, accelerate to the desired speed, and then push the control lever downward to set the cruise speed; 2. 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. The Cruze's body dimensions are: length 4614mm, width 1798mm, height 1485mm, wheelbase 2640mm, and fuel tank capacity 44L. The Cruze is equipped with a 1.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power speed of 5600rpm per minute and a maximum torque speed of 2000 to 4000rpm per minute, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Oh, using the cruise control on the Chevrolet Cruze is actually quite enjoyable. First, make sure you're on a highway or a straight road with a speed of at least 40 km/h, then start the engine. There are usually a few buttons on the steering wheel: one is the cruise control switch, labeled ON/OFF or with an icon—press it to activate the system. Once the cruise light appears on the dashboard, you can accelerate to your desired speed, say 80 km/h. Then press the SET or RES button to lock in the current speed. At this point, the system starts working, automatically controlling the throttle to maintain speed, so you don’t need to press the accelerator pedal—your foot can rest on the floor. If you want to speed up or slow down, press RES to increase speed or SET to decrease it. Alternatively, you can temporarily accelerate by pressing the gas pedal, and the system will return to the set speed once you release it. Canceling cruise control is simple: lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button directly. When using cruise control, avoid heavy traffic or rainy/snowy conditions, as it can lead to loss of control. I love using it during long road trips—it saves fuel, eases leg fatigue, and lets me enjoy the scenery. Remember to check the system regularly; if the buttons aren’t responding, don’t force it. Overall, you’ll get used to it after a few tries. The key is to familiarize yourself with the specific button layout of your Cruze—consulting the manual is the most reliable way.
