How to Use the Cruise Control on the Trumpchi GS4?

[McIsabel]

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.
