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.

What Causes Tire Bulging?

The root cause of tire bulging is the fracture of the tire sidewall's cord ply, which leads to the formation of an air pressure bulge at the fracture point under the high-pressure gas inside the tire, protruding the tire surface and forming a noticeable bulge. Once a tire bulges, it must be replaced with a new one; otherwise, there is a high risk of a blowout. Here are the reasons that can cause the cord ply of a tire to fracture: 1. Impact or compression at the bulging area of the tire: The most common scenario is when a car hits a curb at a relatively high speed or at an inappropriate angle. In such cases, there are usually signs of impact, such as surface scratches or white impact marks inside the tire at the bulging area. Careful inspection will reveal subtle differences. 2. Quality issues with the tire: One possibility is that the cord wires inside the tire have quality problems, leading to insufficient local strength. Another situation is poor handling at the cord ply joints. In cases of bulging caused by quality issues, there are no marks on the tire surface or inside the tire at the bulging area. 3. Insufficient structural strength of low-cost tires: The tire market is highly competitive. To reduce costs, low-cost tires may reduce the number of cord or nylon layers or use inferior cord plies, compromising the tire's strength. Even minor impacts can cause bulging.

How to Determine Vehicle Emission Standards?

There are several methods to determine vehicle emission standards: 1. Vehicle environmental protection compliance label; 2. The starting page of the vehicle certification mark; 3. Estimate the vehicle's emission standard based on its manufacturing year; 4. Use the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate to inquire at the local vehicle management office. Here is additional information: 1. Emission standards refer to the levels of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and soot emitted from vehicle exhaust. 2. Vehicle emission standards are established to prevent pollution from the exhaust of compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health.

Why Does Traffic Jam Happen on Rainy Days?

The reasons for traffic jams on rainy days are as follows: 1. Drivers become more cautious: People tend to drive more cautiously in rainy weather, often slowing down, which extends travel time and increases the load on the traffic system, leading to congestion. 2. Slippery road surfaces: After rain, road surfaces become slippery, reducing the friction coefficient. Combined with increased friction, inexperienced drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents, and traffic violations also rise, naturally decreasing traffic efficiency. The incidence of traffic accidents on rainy days is more than five times higher than usual. 3. Increased traffic volume: On rainy days, people are more likely to use private cars or taxis for travel. In contrast, on sunny days, they might opt for non-motorized vehicles or walking. The increased number of cars and buses on rainy days contributes to higher traffic volume.

Why doesn't the car CD eject the disc when the eject button is pressed?

If the CD in the car doesn't eject, it may be due to a malfunction of the car CD player or the disc being stuck inside. Here is some relevant information about car CDs: 1. Definition: Car audio systems operate in a very complex environment, constantly subjected to electromagnetic interference from the car's ignition system and various electrical devices. Since all electrical devices in the car share a single battery, interference can also occur through power lines and other circuits. To mitigate this, car audio systems use anti-interference technologies such as choke coils installed between the power source and the audio system for filtering. 2. Purchasing Tips: There are hundreds of audio devices available on the market. Experts advise that for most car owners, it's not necessary to equip everything from amplifiers to subwoofers. The primary principle when choosing car audio is to make the most of what you have. To select a satisfactory product from the vast array of car audio options, consider factors such as price, brand, and the reputation of the dealer.
