Trumpchi GS4 cruise control usage method: First press the upper left button (CRUISE) on the steering wheel, which is the cruise control on/off button. Wait until the instrument panel displays a green cruise control indicator, then press the lower right button (SET) on the steering wheel to start cruising. At this time, the instrument panel will display the current cruising speed. The Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with two turbocharged engines: 1.3T and 1.5T. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 152ps and a maximum torque of 235nm, paired with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features dual variable valve timing system for intake and exhaust, variable oil pump, dual-mass flywheel, and GAC's proprietary GCCS combustion chamber control system patent technology.

I've been driving the GAC GS4 for a while now, and I was a bit excited when first learning the cruise control function. First, you need to get the car up to the speed you want to maintain, usually above 40 km/h. There are usually buttons on the right side of the steering wheel - find the one marked SET and press it lightly, then the car will automatically maintain that speed. If you want to increase or decrease the speed, use the plus or minus buttons. If you press the brake or hit the CANCEL button, the cruise control will deactivate, which is very convenient. Personally, I think it's most suitable for highways - don't experiment with it randomly in city driving. Safety reminder: it's best to practice first on open roads, don't get distracted by your phone, and keep your foot near the brake ready to react immediately if needed. When used properly, cruise control can save energy and make long drives less tiring than before, but remember to only use it on straight highway sections.

As a driver with over a decade of experience, I'm well-versed in the cruise control operation of the GS4. After accelerating to over 40 km/h on the road, hold the steering wheel steadily and press the SET button to engage cruise control. Use the +/- buttons to adjust speed anytime, and RESUME can recall the last setting. While convenient, cruise control isn't suitable for winding, muddy, or snowy/rainy conditions. I typically use it on long highway drives to reduce fatigue, temporarily relaxing my foot without leaving the brake pedal. Remember the safety principles: don't activate cruise in heavy traffic, maintain full attention, and use the foot brake immediately in emergencies. Don't over-rely on it - especially during night driving when headlights must be used in conjunction. Regularly check control button responsiveness to prevent failure due to aging.

I've disassembled similar systems before. Briefly explaining the GS4 cruise control principle: It operates via steering wheel buttons - the SET button locks the current speed sensor signal, while adjustment buttons modify the set value. After activation, the system automatically controls the throttle, and pressing the brake disengages the circuit. Avoid using it in congested traffic as it may cause unintended acceleration. The system requires maintaining speeds above 40 km/h to activate, with the RESUME button providing convenient speed recovery. Safety recommendation: Regularly maintain the electronic control unit to prevent malfunctions.

SAIC Volkswagen Free First Maintenance Policy?

SAIC Volkswagen's first maintenance policy stipulates that the first service should be performed within six months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The first maintenance is free of charge. Please bring the vehicle's maintenance manual, and it is essential to carry the first maintenance card. If the first maintenance card was retained by the 4S store at the time of purchase, you can directly drive to the purchasing 4S store for the first maintenance. Below are the relevant details about maintenance: 1. Time Frame: After the new car is delivered, the 4S store generally requires the owner to perform the first maintenance within 5,000 kilometers or six months. Therefore, it is crucial not to exceed 5,000 kilometers before the first maintenance. Failing to follow the normal maintenance schedule as per the user manual means forfeiting the warranty, and the 4S store and manufacturer have the right to refuse warranty service for any car issues. If the 4S store suggests additional paid maintenance items, you can decline them. However, free checks such as tire pressure and lighting must be performed. 2. First Maintenance Items: The first maintenance includes two items: oil change and oil filter replacement. The period from when the new car is delivered until the first maintenance is called the break-in period. During this period, because the engine, transmission, and other components have not fully broken in, it is generally advised not to drive too fast—definitely not exceeding 100 km/h, and preferably not exceeding 80 km/h.

Why does the Chery A5 require 5 liters of engine oil?

Chery A5 only needs 3.5 to 4 liters of engine oil. Basic introduction of Chery A5: The Chery A5 is Chery's first fully forward-developed model, integrating global advanced technologies and development resources. With its advanced design concept, majestic and stable appearance, and humanized luxury configurations, it sets a new value benchmark for mid-size sedans. It offers the grandeur of a B-segment car at an A-segment price, creating a platform for pursuing dreams. The trunk capacity reaches 483 liters, with a fuel consumption of 8.5L/100km. Engine options include ACTECO 1.5L, 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L engines, designed under the Sky-line concept. Safety features of the Chery A5: The A5's safety system is comprehensive and meticulous. In terms of active safety, the A5 series is equipped with three major configurations: 'ABS+EBD+4-wheel disc brakes.' For passive safety, it includes six major features: 'B-segment oversized chassis + extended front body energy-absorbing buffer zone + energy-absorbing steering column + pre-tensioned seat belts + 4 airbags + full-steel side impact beams.' It also adopts the advanced serial CAN-BUS network controller found in high-end sedans, elevating the A5's technological sophistication to new heights. The A5 series is Chery's first fully independently developed new car and may also be the most thoroughly independently developed sedan in modern Chinese automotive history (fully independent projects include exterior, interior, and engine). It is no exaggeration to say that the A5 represents the highest level of independent sedan development in China today.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch when shifting gears?

It is essential to depress the clutch when shifting gears. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increase the driving force of the vehicle to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Prevent overload in the transmission system; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and prolong the service life of transmission gears. The working process of the clutch is: 1. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the push rod moves the master cylinder piston to increase oil pressure; 2. The oil flows through the hose into the slave cylinder, forcing the slave cylinder rod to push the release fork and move the release bearing forward; 3. When the clutch pedal is released, the hydraulic pressure is relieved; 4. The release fork gradually returns to its original position under the action of the return spring, and the clutch is re-engaged.

What is the method for extracting excess engine oil?

The method for extracting excess engine oil is: Remove the drain plug and directly drain it from the bottom. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. To minimize gas leakage and prevent external contaminants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. To cushion the pressure rise in the engine cylinder; 5. To clean dirt generated on the working surfaces of components. Signs that indicate the need for an oil change include: 1. Checking the oil viscosity—if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be replaced; 2. The oil color turns black; 3. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil; 4. Checking whether the oil smells normal.
