How to Use the HOWO Cruise Control?

HOWO cruise control, release the throttle while driving. There is a combination switch on the right side under the steering wheel, with a small +- button on its head, just press it. Press + to accelerate and - to decelerate (must be above 35km/h to activate).

I often drive HOWO trucks for long-distance trips, and the cruise control is quite convenient to use. After getting in the vehicle, start the engine and accelerate to the desired speed, such as driving above 60 km/h on the highway. There's a cruise control switch near the steering wheel—find the SET button and press it to lock the current speed. To increase speed, press the RES button or accelerate to the new speed and press SET again; to decrease speed, press the deceleration button. The easiest way to cancel cruise control is to tap the brake or accelerator, which will deactivate it, or you can press the cancel button. This feature is very helpful for reducing fatigue on open highways, but avoid using it in urban areas or heavy traffic to prevent distractions. Remember to stay alert—cruise control is not autonomous driving, and you still need to keep an eye on the road. Test the system regularly to ensure it's functioning properly without any issues.

From a safety perspective, I've been on the road for over a decade. When using HOWO's cruise control, make sure the tires are properly inflated and the road conditions are good before activating it. Avoid using it on slippery or rainy days as it's too risky and can easily lead to accidents. After setting the speed, keep your foot near the brake—always be ready to brake in case of emergencies. If the system doesn't respond or gets stuck, immediately hit the brake to cancel; check if the buttons are functioning smoothly. Combining it with manual driving is safer, like switching back for overtaking or curves. Regularly remind yourself that cruise control is just an aid—don't over-rely on it. Periodically review the vehicle manual to familiarize yourself with the control locations.

Let me talk about maintenance. After driving trucks for a long time, I found that cruise system maintenance is simple. Quickly test the functionality during startup to ensure the buttons are responsive; check the engine compartment wiring for aging or looseness. Avoid parking in damp places to prevent circuit issues. After using cruise control, pay attention to fuel consumption changes—setting a reasonable speed can save a little fuel. Don't wait for a malfunction to take action; for example, check the fuse box if it fails. Simple maintenance extends its lifespan, making it suitable for owners who cherish their vehicles.
