What does CRUISE mean on a car?
2 Answers
CRUISE on a car refers to the electronic cruise control system. Below is an introduction on how to activate and use cruise control. Activating Cruise Control: First, press the CRUISE button to activate the cruise control module. When the dashboard displays CRUISE, the vehicle must be traveling at a speed of 40 km/h or above to engage cruise control. Once above 40 km/h, press the SET button to activate cruise control. Adjusting Speed: Speed adjustment can be achieved using the + and - buttons. Pushing the lever upward increases the speed, while pushing it downward decreases the speed. Holding the lever in position will cause the speed to rapidly increase or decrease. Canceling Cruise Control: Pressing the accelerator or pushing the lever downward will temporarily cancel the function. Releasing the accelerator or pushing the lever inward will automatically restore the function. The CANCEL button is used to deactivate cruise control.
Hello, when I see the word 'cruise' in a car, I usually think of the cruise control system. It's super useful when driving, especially on long highway trips. Just press a button to set a speed, and the car maintains a constant speed on its own, so you don't have to keep your foot on the accelerator. This helps reduce fatigue and prevents foot numbness. I remember one time driving from my hometown to the provincial capital—a four- to five-hour journey—and using cruise control made it much easier, even saving a bit on fuel costs. The operation is pretty simple: accelerate to your desired speed and press SET; to speed up, press RES+; to slow down, press SET-; and to cancel, hit the brake or press CANCEL. However, safety is key—avoid using it on slippery roads or in heavy traffic because the system isn't fully automatic, and you'll need to manually handle sudden situations. Nowadays, many new cars have upgraded to adaptive cruise control, which can automatically adjust following distance, making it even smarter. But the basic function remains the same: making driving more comfortable and convenient.
