The usage method of the cruise control on the Cruze is mainly as follows: 1. Press the power button to turn on the system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. 2. Accelerate to the desired speed (above 40 mph), then press the SET button. At this point, you can release the accelerator pedal with your right foot, and the speed will be maintained at the current level. 3. You can press RES and SET- to accelerate and decelerate the car. Additional information: 1. The Cruze's new-generation MyLink+ intelligent connectivity system comes with AutoNavi online navigation, offering features such as online navigation, real-time traffic updates, and online map updates. It also allows binding with the AutoNavi Maps mobile app to complete operations like sending navigation addresses and synchronizing address bookmarks between the phone and the car, providing a large-screen online navigation experience without relying on a phone. 2. The Cruze supports Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife smartphone integration. The OnStar mobile app also enables remote operations such as alerts, viewing and controlling vehicle lock/unlock, starting/shutting off the engine, opening the trunk, and controlling the lighting system.
I just bought a Cruze, and as a novice driver, learning to use cruise control is an essential skill. It's quite simple to use: first, drive at your desired speed, say 80 km/h on the highway, then press the cruise control switch on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the function. Next, lightly press the set button to lock the speed. After releasing the accelerator, the car will maintain this speed automatically. Remember, it should only be used on clear highways, avoiding congested areas to prevent accidents. The related benefit is reducing fatigue on long drives, but in case of any situation, pressing the brake or the cancel button will immediately disengage the cruise control—safety first is a crucial reminder. After practicing a few times, I found it particularly effortless to drive on flat roads.
