Instructions for using the cruise control on the Trumpchi GS8: 1. Briefly press the activation button, and the corresponding indicator light on the instrument cluster will illuminate in white. 2. Increase the vehicle speed to the desired cruising speed. 3. Briefly press the SET- button, and the corresponding white indicator light on the instrument cluster will turn green. 4. The vehicle will then enter the cruise control state, and you can release the accelerator pedal. Additional information: To resume cruise control: When the corresponding indicator light on the instrument cluster is white, you can reset the cruise control function by performing the following operation: When the vehicle speed is above 40 km/h, briefly press the RES/+ button, and the cruise control indicator light on the instrument cluster will change from white to green. The vehicle speed will then return to the last memorized cruise control setting and maintain that speed.

I've used the cruise control on the GAC GS8 many times, and it's particularly suitable for long-distance driving. First, drive the car to your desired speed, such as around 70km/h on the highway, then press the cruise icon button on the steering wheel—once the light turns on, the system is activated. Next, press the set button to memorize the current speed, and the car will maintain it, allowing you to relax your foot slightly. To adjust the speed, use the '+' button to accelerate and the '-' button to decelerate, with each press changing the speed by about 1-2km/h. If there's a car ahead or you need to brake, a light tap on the brake pedal will automatically cancel the cruise control, and pressing the resume button will return to the previous speed. Remember to use it on highways or open roads, avoiding city traffic or steep slopes and sharp turns. This feature helps save fuel and reduce fatigue—I always use it when driving my GS8, making trips much more relaxed. It's recommended to combine it with the automatic brake assist system for added safety checks.

Learning to use the cruise control on the GS8 is quite simple. I've tried it a few times: first accelerate the car to over 40km/h, then press the cruise control button on the steering wheel to activate it. When reaching the desired speed, say 60km/h, press the set button to lock it in. The car will then automatically maintain that speed, and you can fine-tune it using the + and - buttons. To cancel, just press the cancel button or step on the brake, and press the resume button to continue. Avoid using it frequently in rainy, foggy weather or on curves, but it's very convenient on highways. As a beginner, I was a bit nervous at first, but after getting used to it, I found it helps reduce the risk of mistakenly pressing the accelerator, making driving more relaxed. Regularly checking the lights and tires ensures the cruise control system works properly.

The cruise control on the Trumpchi GS8 is easy to use. Ensure the speed is between 40-180km/h, press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system, and reach the desired speed point to set with the SET button. Use RES+ to increase speed and SET- to decrease. The system automatically pauses when the brake is pressed and resumes with the RES button. It supports adaptive cruise control, automatically slowing down to avoid obstacles. Before driving, check brake sensitivity and dashboard lights, and avoid relying on it on slippery roads. The overall design is simple, making it ideal for long trips to enhance driving efficiency.
