How to use the steering wheel cruise control?
2 Answers
The method to use the steering wheel cruise control is: 1. Press the control switch to activate the cruise control standby mode, accelerate to the desired speed, and then push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed; 2. To accelerate, push the control lever upward or step on the accelerator pedal; 3. To cancel the cruise control, pull the control lever upward, turn off the cruise control main switch, step on the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake. Below is a brief introduction to cruise control: Cruise control, also known as speed control system or autonomous driving system, allows drivers to maintain a constant speed without continuously pressing the accelerator pedal, reducing fatigue during long highway drives and minimizing unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel.
I often rely on the cruise control on the steering wheel to save effort during long-distance driving, and the steps are very simple. First, accelerate the car to the desired speed, such as 70 km/h on the highway, and press the cruise button on the steering wheel to activate the system. Then press the set button to lock the speed, and use the +/- buttons to fine-tune the speed. Braking will immediately cancel the cruise, or you can press the cancel button to deactivate it. The key is not to use it in congested areas or bad weather, as it's unsafe. Additionally, the fuel-saving effect is noticeable during long trips. I regularly check the buttons to avoid sticking or dust buildup, ensuring the battery voltage is normal. If driving an automatic model with cruise assist, it will maintain the following distance, but you should first read the manual to understand the details.
