2 Answers
Hongqi H7 cruise control usage method: The cruise control switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel; Press the button once to turn it on; Accelerate to the desired speed and then press the set button. After the cruise control function is activated, the cruise control module will precisely calculate the required throttle input to maintain the current cruising speed based on the signals from the electronic throttle sensor. The Hongqi H7 is a premium sedan from a Chinese independent brand and the first strategic model in the revival of the Hongqi brand. Its dimensions are 5095mm in length, 1875mm in width, and 1485mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2970mm and a top speed of 235km/h.
I often drive my Hongqi H7 on the highway, and the cruise control feature is super convenient to use. While driving, first accelerate to the desired speed, for example, set it to 90 kilometers per hour, then press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system. Next, use the plus or minus buttons nearby to lock in the specific value. Once set, you can take your foot off the accelerator pedal, and the system will automatically maintain the speed. To temporarily cancel it, lightly tap the brake; press the resume button, and it will return to the original speed. Don’t use it in the city—it’s not safe—only enable it on smooth highways. The benefits are fuel savings and reduced fatigue, making long drives much easier for me. Remember to regularly check the cruise control module to avoid unexpected shutdowns due to sensor failures. Always pay attention to the dashboard display—a green light indicates normal operation. For beginners, practice operating it on open roads first and avoid relying on it during curves or rainy weather.
