To use the cruise control on the Trumpchi GS8, follow these steps: 1. Activate Cruise Control: Briefly press the cruise control button to illuminate the white indicator light on the instrument cluster. Accelerate to the desired cruising speed (above 40km/h), then briefly press the SET/- button. The white indicator light will turn green, indicating the vehicle is in cruise control mode. 2. Deactivate Cruise Control: Depress the brake pedal, shift the gear lever to "N", briefly press the cruise control button, operate the electronic parking brake button, or if the ESP system activates. 3. Resume Cruise Control: When the speed is above 40km/h, briefly press the RES/+ button. The cruise control indicator on the instrument cluster will change from white to green, and the vehicle will resume the previously set cruising speed. 4. Increase Cruising Speed: Briefly press the RES/+ button to increase speed by 1.6km/h per press. Hold the RES/+ button to continuously increase speed; releasing it will maintain the current speed. 5. Decrease Cruising Speed: Briefly press the SET/- button to reduce speed by 1.6km/h per press. Hold the SET/- button to continuously decrease speed; releasing it will maintain the lower speed.

Using the cruise control on the Trumpchi GS8 is quite straightforward. I remember using this feature frequently during long-distance drives last year. There's usually a button with a speedometer icon on the left side of the steering wheel—that's the cruise control switch. When you reach a speed above 30 km/h and press this button, a white indicator light will illuminate on the instrument panel. Then, press the button labeled 'SET-' to lock in the current speed for automatic cruising. The speed adjustment buttons allow fine-tuning, with each press changing the speed by about 1-2 km/h. For temporary acceleration, like when overtaking, simply press the accelerator—releasing it will automatically return the car to the set speed. Pressing the brake or the cancel button will deactivate cruise control, turning off the green indicator light. To resume the previous speed setting later, just press the RES button, and the car will smoothly return to the last set speed—especially convenient on highways. Note that if you turn off the engine, you'll need to reset the cruise control.

Before using cruise control, check the manual to confirm the button positions as layouts may vary slightly between models. I usually activate it only after exceeding 40 km/h by pressing the wavy-line button on the left side of the steering wheel. The cruise icon on the dashboard turns white when activated - press SET to lock the current speed (icon turns green). Extremely useful on highways with acceleration/deceleration buttons positioned under your thumb for easy adjustments. Gently tap the brake to deactivate when encountering traffic ahead - no panic needed. Note: Best to disable during rainy conditions or winding roads as maintaining speed automatically can be hazardous on slippery surfaces. Pro tip: It automatically downshifts to control speed on descents, proving more stable than manual braking while preventing right-foot numbness during long drives.

What is the difference between 5w30 and 10w40?

These two types of engine oil have different viscosities and low-temperature flow properties. 10w40 oil has a higher viscosity, while 5w30 oil performs better in low-temperature flow conditions. More detailed explanations are as follows: 1. The 'W' stands for winter, the first letter of the English word 'winter.' The smaller the number before the W, the better the oil's low-temperature flow properties, meaning it can be used at lower temperatures and provides better engine protection during cold starts. The number after the W indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance, specifically the oil's viscosity at 100 degrees. A higher number means higher viscosity, and a larger value indicates better protection performance at high temperatures. 2. The SAE lubricant viscosity classification includes winter oil grades such as 10W, 20W, etc., and summer oil grades such as 20, 40, etc. Therefore, compared to 10w40, 5w30 has a lower number before the W, making it suitable for lower temperatures, but its high-temperature resistance is poorer.

Does idling the car consume fuel?

Idling the car does consume fuel, although it is much less compared to fuel consumption while driving. However, it is not good for the engine. Below is relevant information about the idle state: 1. Idle state refers to a working condition when the engine is running without load. When the engine is running and the accelerator pedal is fully released, the engine enters the idle state. When adjusting the idle speed, the RPM should not fluctuate abruptly, as this can cause premature wear to the engine. It is best to have the idle speed adjusted at an automotive repair facility. 2. Idle refers to the engine running without any load, only overcoming the internal friction resistance of its components, without delivering any external power. The minimum RPM required to maintain stable engine operation is called the idle speed, which is one of the five basic operating conditions of an engine. A well-performing engine typically has an idle speed of 550-800 RPM. 3. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening or the idle fuel supply. Generally, the optimal idle speed is the lowest RPM at which the engine runs smoothly within the idle range and provides good acceleration performance. 4. The phenomenon of idling means the car remains stationary while the engine continues to run—burning fuel without any productive output.

What is the function of HUD head-up display?

Car HUD head-up display is a head-up display, and the following is the extended content: Head-up display: Initially used as a flight aid instrument in aircraft, it was later applied to automobiles. Simply put, it allows drivers to reduce the frequency of looking down at the dashboard, thereby avoiding interruptions in attention and reducing the probability of accidents. Principle of HUD: The principle of HUD is to use optical reflection to project important driving data onto the front windshield. This involves two structures: data processing and image display. When a car is driving at high speed, if the driver frequently looks down at the dashboard information, it is likely to lead to a lack of concentration and driving fatigue.

Is a car with 5 adults and 1 child considered overloading?

A car with 5 adults and 1 child is considered overloading. More details are as follows: 1. According to relevant regulations, the number of passengers in a motor vehicle must not exceed the approved capacity. The overloading regulations do not specify the height, weight, or age of passengers, only the quantity. Therefore, whether it is overloading depends solely on the approved number of passengers stated on the vehicle's registration certificate. Even one extra person, including an infant, counts as overloading. 2. Regardless of where passengers sit in the car, they must always fasten their seat belts. It is recommended to install a child safety seat when transporting children, and holding a child in the front passenger seat is prohibited. In the event of a collision, an airbag deployment may not only fail to provide protection but could also injure the passenger. Therefore, many vehicles also prohibit children from sitting in the front passenger seat, and safety seats cannot be installed there either.

What is the distance indicated by the three lines in a reversing camera?

The auxiliary lines in a reversing camera consist of three colors, each representing a different distance. Red line: This is the warning line, indicating a distance of 30 cm from the rear of the vehicle. It is not advisable to continue reversing beyond this point. Yellow line: This is the deceleration line, indicating a distance of 60 cm from the rear of the vehicle. You can continue reversing but should slow down. Green line: This is the safety line, indicating a greater distance from the rear of the vehicle, allowing you to continue reversing safely. More details are as follows: 1. The distance settings for the three lines in a reversing camera may vary by manufacturer. After installation, you can measure them yourself. Reversing also requires practice; relying solely on the reversing camera cannot solve all practical problems. 2. Always check the situation behind the vehicle before reversing and plan your reversing path. When adjusting the direction of the front wheels, ensure they won’t hit any obstacles, and avoid accelerating while reversing. Additionally, note that the steering wheel should be turned in the same direction as the intended movement of the rear of the vehicle—turn right if the rear is moving right, and left if it’s moving left. Don’t focus only on the rear while reversing; periodically check the side mirrors to monitor the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles on either side.

How long does it take to receive a text message after running a red light?

After running a red light, you will generally receive a notification within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities have now introduced "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive a text message notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But a notification does not necessarily mean a violation; it serves only as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners usually do not receive the violation text message immediately. There is a delay, and the duration can vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by the relevant traffic police department staff. Once the violation is confirmed, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via text message to the owner. After receiving the violation text message, the vehicle owner must resolve all previous violations within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text message is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for querying vehicle violations include vehicle violation websites, phone queries, text message queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be processed at the violation location. Text Message Query: Open your phone's text message interface; enter "WZ" followed by your license plate number and color in the message body; send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, click "More," select "Violation Query," find any unprocessed violations, and resolve them. Offline Terminal Query: You can visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter your license plate number and check recent violation records.
